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
Simultaneous involvement of the renal pelvis, ureter, and bladder in emphysematous urinary tract infections is rare. A 79-year-old woman presented with fever, septic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and acute kidney injury. Computed tomography revealed intraluminal gas involving these three structures/organs, with hydronephrosis. Her serum procalcitonin levels were high (388.90 ng/mL). Ureteral stenting and antimicrobial therapy were initiated, resulting in clinical improvement. Three-dimensional reconstruction enabled visualization of the gas distribution and resolution after treatment. The emphysematous lesions had disappeared by day 15. This case highlights the importance of early urinary drainage and appropriate antimicrobial therapy in extensive emphysematous urinary tract infections.
