Laser endoureterotomy and endopyelotomy: an update.
Review in World journal of urology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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
purposeAlthough minimally invasive approach is one of the first-line treatment choices for ureteral strictures, there are still controversies on the ideal method to treat this entity. The objective of this update was to define the level of evidence around endoscopic treatment of ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) and ureteral strictures.
methodsWe reviewed the current available literature on the PubMed database from the last decade up to May 2014 on laser endoureterotomy and endopyelotomy.
resultsThe level of evidence for the endoscopic treatment of UPJ and ureteral strictures is low. Despite this, it appears that endoureterotomy and endopyelotomy performed mainly with Ho:YAG laser achieve good success rates with minimal perioperative morbidity.
conclusionsLaser endoureterotomy and endopyelotomy should be considered a reasonable treatment option in selected patients.
