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

Introduction: Fungal balls in the urinary tract are rare but dangerous complications of candiduria. Here, we report a case of a urinary tract fungal ball in a single kidney after total nephroureterocystectomy. Case presentation: The patient was an 80-year-old male. He had a history of pyelonephritis, and his ureteral stent was regularly replaced. He was admitted to the hospital with a chief complaint of urinary tract obstruction, and a 50-mm-sized mass was found within the renal pelvis. Because the ureteral stent frequently became obstructed, the mass was removed percutaneously. Conclusion: Appropriate urinary drainage methods for fungal balls vary among patients, and it is important to select an appropriate method based on the accumulated number of cases.
