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

Fornical ruptures, also known as calyceal ruptures, are a rare sequela of obstructive uropathy in most cases. This pathology can present with similar symptoms to urolithiasis, such as costovertebral tenderness, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Treatment of forniceal ruptures can vary based on the individual clinical presentation. It may be conservative with hydration, intravenous antibiotics, and pain control. It can also involve more invasive interventions such as stent placement, nephrostomy tube placement, and fluid aspiration. We present a patient with no history of urolithiasis, trauma, malignancy, or previous urologic interventions, who was found to have an obstructive uropathy by a three-millimeter stone that led to a right-sided forniceal rupture by computed tomography imaging. The patient was admitted to the general medical service with urology following for intravenous antibiotics, stent placement with cystoscopy, and lithotripsy.
