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

To our knowledge we present the first case of bilateral emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) and emphysematous cystitis (EC) diagnosed, in a diabetic patient with urinary retention, five days after ambulatory robotic hysterectomy and mid-urethral sling (MUS). Her urethral catheter was removed prior to discharge. This report describes a potentially catastrophic event that should have been prevented. Adhering to appropriate voiding trial protocols should continue to be an essential part of the discharge process.
