Emphysematous Pyelonephritis at 29 Weeks of Gestation: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a urinary tract infection progression characterized by gas retention in the renal tissues and a high mortality rate, but few cases have been reported. In this study, we present a 32-year-old primigravida with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a history of pyelonephritis who developed pyelonephritis at 29 weeks. Antimicrobial therapy was initiated; however, her clinical symptoms worsened. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) led to a diagnosis of EPN. Fortunately, the patient improved with antibiotic therapy and delivered at 39 weeks. Treatment for EPN may require invasive procedures such as percutaneous drainage or nephrectomy. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are crucial for the management of EPN during pregnancy. This case report highlights the need for imaging evaluation and tailored treatment strategies to balance maternal and fetal health in the treatment of EPN during pregnancy.
