Analysis of Pathogenic Bacteria, Drug Resistance and Treatment of Emphysematous Pyelonephritis: A Case Series.

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
Purpose: Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare, acute, gas-producing necrotizing infection of the kidney. This study aims to improve the understanding of EPN, optimize diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, reduce the incidence of severe infections, and improve patient prognosis. Patients and Methods: Patients with a definitive diagnosis of EPN confirmed by computed tomography (CT) were retrospectively reviewed between December 2012 and May 2025. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, treatment approaches, and outcomes were evaluated. Representative imaging findings were presented, along with an analysis of pathogenic bacteria and antimicrobial resistance in EPN patients. Results: This series includes 15 patients with EPN, representing the largest single-center cohort reported from mainland China in the past 30 years. Body fluid cultures identified 12 pathogenic bacterial strains, with Conclusion: We recommend the use of sensitive antibiotics as early as possible, combined with fluid resuscitation, blood glucose control, supportive care, and early minimally invasive therapy.
