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

Introduction: We encountered a case of acute obstructive pyelonephritis caused by bleeding from a renal pelvis cancer that was successfully treated by laparoscopic nephrectomy. Case presentation: An 88-year-old woman with fever of 40.2°C and right back pain associated with hematuria due to a right renal pelvic tumor. Computed tomography showed a blood clot filling the right renal pelvis and ureter. She was diagnosed with severe obstructive pyelonephritis due to undrainable blood clots. Nephrectomy was performed to control the infection. Although the perirenal area was easy bleeding, nephrectomy was completed and the patient's condition improved. Conclusion: Renal pelvis carcinomas with hemorrhage requiring blood transfusion should be treated with radical nephroureterectomy as early as possible.
