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

Vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR) is a common congenital urinary tract defect in which urine flows retrogradely from the bladder to the kidneys because of an abnormally formed uretero-vesical junction. It is associated with recurrent urinary tract infections, renal hypo/dysplasia, reflux nephropathy, hypertension, and end-stage renal disease. In humans, VUR is genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous, encompassing diverse renal and urinary tract phenotypes. To understand the significance of these phenotypes, we and others have used the mouse as a model organism and this has led to the identification of new candidate genes. Through careful phenotypic analysis of these models, a new understanding of the genetics and biology of VUR is now underway.
