New valve-mechanical model of urinary tract function: the theory of biological dual valves.
Review in Central European journal of urology, 2011. 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
introductionUntil now, peristalsis has been the only known method of urine transport. The main objective of this paper was to study urinary tract function - especially the upper urinary tract, the ureter - from a new mechanical point of view. The physical (physical dual valves) and biological basis (biological dual valves) of a new functional model is presented based on previous observations and knowledge.
methodsA review of the literature was performed, with special emphasis on ureter motility.
resultsAfter analyzing the anatomy and physiology of the urinary tract, complemented by basic physical observations, the authors have developed a new valve-mechanical model of urinary tract function. A comprehensive mechanical hypothesis is also presented, integrating the role of peristalsis.
conclusionsThe authors believe that the new theory enhances previous knowledge. From a structural point of view, the urinary tract may be considered to consist of dualvalves. The dual-valve mechanism combined with peristalsis allows better explanation of the function of the upper urinary tract in particular. The main conclusion is that the flow in the urinary tract must be studied integrally within the body. This new theory does not contradict well-known and acknowledged theories, and moreover, it may help solve certain medical problems.
