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

Large pelvic cysts and moderate to severe hydroureteronephrosis were found after investigating hypertension in a 16-year-old child with Marfan's and known pelvic dural ectasia. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated extensive ectasia of the dural sac at the sacral level with displacement of the bowel, bladder and bilateral ureteric obstruction with accompanying hydroureteronephrosis that was advanced compared to prior imaging. Postural headaches secondary to cerebrospinal fluid leak and progressive hydroureteronephrosis prompted a combined neurosurgical and urologic resection of the pelvic masses. In this report, we discuss the preoperative evaluation and management of this rare form of bilateral ureteric obstruction.
