Renal pelvis rupture presenting as an acute abdomen in patient with Alzheimer's dementia: a case report and literature review.

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
Renal pelvis rupture (RPR) with clinical presentation of acute abdomen is an unusual clinical event and in a patient with Alzheimer's dementia is unique in its clinical presentation and differentiating the diagnosis. We report a case of a 75-year-old male Alzheimer's patient who complained of sudden right-sided flank and abdominal pain followed by nausea, and vomiting, without a history or signs of external trauma. Abdominal ultrasound showed fluid collection close to the right renal pelvis with first-grade hydronephrosis. Computed tomography revealed right colon overdistension and, a 2 mm proximal right ureteral stone, and contrast urography showed a dilated right renal pelvis with extravasation. After the endoscopic treatment with double-J stent, no contrast extravasation was seen on the control CTU, and the stent was removed after four weeks. Patients with Alzheimer's dementia presenting with acute abdomen and flank pain should be evaluated for renal pelvis rupture with prompt diagnosis and management.
