Diffuse Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis: A Rare Disease With A Common Presentation.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a distinct entity characterized by chronic granulomatous changes in the renal parenchyma associated with renal destruction and urinary tract abnormalities, most often from obstruction or infection in the urinary tract. We have presented the case report of a girl with fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, anorexia, and weight loss. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed multiloculated cystic lesions with calcifications and a psoas muscle abscess, which tested positive for Escherichia (E.) coli. Histopathology revealed lipid-laden macrophages, multinucleated giant cells, and fibrosis. Nephrectomy and drainage of the psoas abscess were done. XGP, although rare, should not be confused with renal tumors and should be considered in children presenting with fever and urinary tract symptoms. Early diagnosis can be reached with CT. Nephrectomy is the definitive treatment.
