Endoureterotomy is not a sufficient treatment for intrinsic ureteral endometriosis.

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
aimTo investigate whether intrinsic ureteral endometriosis could be managed by laser endoureterotomy. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe studied retrospectively 6 patients with intrinsic ureteral endometriosis who underwent laser endoureterotomy and reviewed their clinical data. Pathological sections of them have also been studied by immunohistochemistry for expressional levels of oestrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors. Ten sections of normal endometrium were included as a control.
resultsFive patients had recurrence of ureteral stricture within 6 months postoperatively despite hormonal therapy for 3 to 6 months. One patient had recurrence 8 months after endoureterotomy. Two patients had secondary surgery for ureteroureterostomy and pathology confirmed recurrence of endometriosis. Immunohistochemistry revealed decreased ER and PR expression compared to the control.
conclusionsEndoureterotomy with hormonal therapy may not be suitable for ureteral endometriosis due to inadequate cutting and expressional change of ER and PR.
