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

A high success rate has been reported for laparoscopic intravesical ureteral reimplantation in the management of high-grade vesicoureteral reflux in children. With the introduction of the da Vinci robotic surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA), robotic-assisted laparoscopic intravesical ureteral reimplantation may provide additional benefits, particularly in intravesical suturing. We present here our experience in three children, all with high-grade bilateral vesicoureteral reflux, who underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic intravesical bilateral ureteral reimplantation. The procedure was successfully performed in all cases. There were no intra-operative or post-operative complications. Operative times were 430, 240 and 220 min. Hospital stay was 7, 6 and 2 days. Postoperative voiding cystourethrogram confirmed resolution of vesicoureteral refluxes in all cases and all three children were free from urinary tract infections on follow-up. Our initial experience with robotic-assisted laparoscopic intravesical ureteral reimplantation has shown this to be a technically safe and feasible option in the management of children with bilateral high-grade vesicoureteric reflux.
