Doppler ureteric jet in urogenital prolapse.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introduction and hypothesisThis work was conducted to study the Doppler ureteric jets in the assessment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) patients.
methodsForty POP-Q stage ≧ III patients and 20 without POP were assessed with color Doppler ultrasonography.
resultsAmong 40 POP, 28 had bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and 4 had hydronephrosis. Comparing POP and controls, the difference in mean frequency, mean duration, and mean maximum velocity of ureteric jets was not statistically significant. The ureteric jets of POP with BOO are of longer duration and lower velocity. The frequency of ureteric jets was lower in POP with hydronephrosis. Plateau-type waveforms were much more common among POP associated with voiding and ureteric dysfunction.
conclusionsThe longer duration and lower velocity of the ureteric jet are strongly correlated with prolapse-associated BOO. The plateau-type waveform and decrease in frequency of ureteric jets indicate possible hydronephrosis. Further investigation is needed to confirm the consistency of this study.
