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

backgroundUrosepsis is a life-threatening condition frequently associated with renal and ureteral calculi (RUC) and diabetes mellitus (DM), a combination that exacerbates susceptibility to infection due to urinary obstruction and impaired immune response.

aimTo identify the risk factors for urosepsis in patients with RUC complicated by DM to enhance early detection and intervention strategies.

methodsThis retrospective observational study included 298 patients with RUC and DM admitted between January 2020 and June 2024. Patients were divided into an observation group (

resultsMultivariate analysis identified several independent risk factors for urosepsis. Female sex (OR = 2.237, 95%CI: 1.086-4.605,

conclusionThis study identifies key demographic, clinical, laboratory, and imaging factors associated with urosepsis risk in patients with RUC and DM. Early identification of female patients, elderly individuals, those presenting with fever, severe hydronephrosis, and elevated U-LEU and U-GLU levels may facilitate timely intervention. These findings highlight the importance of comprehensive assessment and targeted management in the care of high-risk patients.
