Emphysematous cystitis treated with targeted antibiotic therapies: a report of two cases.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is a rare, complicated urinary tract infection characterized by gas formation in and around the bladder wall, often occurring in older adults with diabetes mellitus, urinary tract obstruction, or long-term indwelling urinary catheters. EC can be easily misdiagnosed due to atypical symptoms and signs. Delayed treatment causes life-threatening complications like emphysematous pyelonephritis, bladder perforation, or septic shock. Here, we retrospectively analyzed two cases of EC who had been effectively treated and discharged following antibiotics, strict blood sugar control, bladder irrigation, and symptomatic and supportive treatment. Through literature review, we summarized the clinical characteristics, diagnostic skills, and therapeutic strategies for EC. Our experience may inform the early diagnosis and standardized management to improve the prognosis of EC.
