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

Emphysematous prostatic abscess (EPA) is a very rare but fatal urinary tract infection. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of a patient with EPA admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University in January 2022. He experienced EPA progression and deteriorated rapidly after admission, while he recovered immediately after surgical intervention through transurethral internal resection of the prostatic abscess. This case report underscores the importance of early diagnosis and effective treatment for EPA, which can reduce the mortality rate, thereby improving prognosis.
