Obstructive diseases of the urinary tract in children: lessons from the last 15 years.
Review in Pediatric radiology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Imaging urinary tract obstruction is a common query in paediatric uroradiology. With the advent of a more conservative treatment approach, the task of imaging today is to distinguish as early as possible those kidneys that do not require surgery, from those that will deteriorate and lose function and/or growth potential and thus benefit from surgery. At present, in spite of significant advancements in imaging and the introduction of diuretic paediatric MR-urography, there is still no reliable a-priori pro-futuro assessment. Thus, repeated follow-up imaging is often necessary for monitoring. Imaging usually starts with US; the major additional complementary and more function-oriented tools are diuretic renal scintigraphy and MR-urography. The frequency and timing as well as the detailed protocol vary within institutions, partly because of differences in the criteria that are used for indicating surgery. Intra-venous urography (IVU) for obstruction has practically vanished apart from for a few exceptions, and the "Whitaker" test is today seldom performed, being reserved for complicated cases.
