1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We report co-occurrence of emphysematous cystitis and emphysematous pyelonephritis (EC/EPN) in a 64-year-old female with poor-controlled diabetes mellitus (DM) that presented with flank pain, fever, and hematuria that turned out to have a bilateral extrarenal pelvis. On examination, she was feverish, and the costovertebral angle was tender. By considering herhemoglobin A1C, her DM was out of control. Inflammatory markers elevated. Renal function tests were impaired. Urine culture was positive for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase Escherichia coli. Computed tomography scans (CT) confirmed the presence of air in the bladder and renal pelvis in favor of EC and unilateral EPN. We planned to use conservative treatments. Promptly intravenous antibiotics started; thereafter, the renal pelvis was drained via percutaneous catheter, and the bladder was drained via foley catheter, as well. After 14 days of hospitalization, clinical status improved, urine culture got negative, and emphysema in follow-up CT images wholly regressed. To our knowledge, co-occurrence of emphysematous cystitis (EC) and emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) in a patient with an extra renal pelvis never happened. We tend to convey messages, including (1) the extrarenal pelvis may contribute to predisposing the patient to pyelonephritis if it is considerably large; (2) the conservative plan and observation was a successful experience in treating extrarenal pelvis patients with EC/EPN.
