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

Urological procedure for obstructive renal calculi is a rare but important cause of pleural effusion. This case describes a patient presenting with symptomatic unilateral pleural effusion after a urological procedure which was initially treated and resolved. It subsequently recurred and was complicated by fungal pleural infection. It was treated as urinothorax. Treatment consisted of a combination of prompt and effective pleural drainage, prolonged intravenous antifungal and decompression of the urinary system to ensure closure of the nephro-pleural fistula and resulted in a good outcome.
