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
introductionIt is believed that lower pole crossing vessels may play an important role in the etiology of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). A conventional operative technique, which seems to be widely used in patients with UPJO, is Anderson-Hynes (A-H) plasty with dorsal transposition of the vessel. An attractive alternative to dorsal transposition of the vessel might be its cephalad translocation.
aimTo assess the effectiveness of cephalad translocation of the crossing vessel in patients who underwent laparoscopic A-H or Y-V pyeloplasty. MATERIAL AND
methodsEighty-five patients were included in the study. To assess the effectiveness of cephalad translocation of the crossing vessel in patients who underwent laparoscopic pyeloplasty, the results of the procedure were compared to the results of laparoscopic pyeloplasties performed in patients without crossing vessels (control group). Success was defined as the following factors taken collectively: 80% or greater pain relief according to VAS, no sign of obstruction on intravenous urography (patent UPJ), decreasing excretion curve with T1/2 < 12 min, and improved or stable differential renal function on diuretic renography.
resultsThe mean follow-up was 53.7 months. There was no statistically significant difference in the success rate between the compared groups (group 1 - cases with cephalad translocation of the crossing artery, and group 2 - cases without crossing vessels) in patients who underwent A-H plasty or Y-V plasty.
conclusionsThe analysis of our data seems to indicate that cephalad translocation of the anterior crossing vessel gives good therapeutic results in patients who undergo laparoscopic pyeloplasty.
