Urinoma Due to Spontaneous Rupture of the Renal Pelvis Mimicking Appendicitis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Spontaneous rupture of the renal pelvis (SRRP) with urine extravasation is rare. This condition is primarily associated with an obstructing ureteric calculus. It creates a diagnostic dilemma, especially when the clinical diagnosis can be inconsistent. Herein, we report a 49-year-old male patient who presented with abdominal pain for the past three days and was diagnosed with acute appendicitis. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a right renal pelvis rupture and urinoma secondary to an obstructive 4 mm ureterovesical junction calculi. The patient was successfully treated with double-J stent placement. In conclusion, even though SRRP is rare, emergency physicians should have knowledge regarding this condition, which often presents as an abdominal condition and may be misdiagnosed as another condition requiring surgical intervention. Radiologic investigations such as CT scans are useful methods in suspected cases of this condition in order to reduce unnecessary surgical intervention.
