Ultrasound Findings of Emphysematous Pyelonephritis: A Case Series.

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 (EP) is a severe complication of acute pyelonephritis caused by gas-producing bacteria, with high morbidity and mortality. Early recognition is essential, but the symptoms of EP are similar to those of severe acute pyelonephritis, complicating the diagnosis. Although computed tomography (CT) is the preferred diagnostic tool, its use is often limited in resource-constrained settings. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) offers a rapid, accessible alternative for identifying signs of complicated pyelonephritis, including EP and obstructive pyelonephritis. Renal POCUS can be used to screen and risk stratify patients with severe acute pyelonephritis, optimizing CT use and reducing delays in diagnosing complications. We present cases from a hospital in Lima, Peru, illustrating how POCUS effectively facilitated the timely diagnosis and management of EP.
