Multi-modality imaging of the leaking ureter: why does detection of traumatic and iatrogenic ureteral injuries remain a challenge?
Review in Emergency radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Ureteral injuries are uncommon in trauma patients, accounting for fewer than 1% of all injuries to the urinary tract. These uncommon, yet problematic, injuries can often be overlooked in the standard search pattern on abdominal and pelvic multi-detector CT (MDCT) images, as radiologists focus on more immediate life-threatening injuries. However, early diagnosis and management are vital to reduce potential morbidity. If there is a high clinical index of suspicion for ureteral injuries with penetrating or blunt trauma, or if there is suspected iatrogenic ureteral injury, delayed-phase/urographic-phase MDCT images are essential for confirming the diagnosis. Moreover, making the distinction between partial and complete ureteral transection is critical, as it will guide management. The aim of this pictorial review is to overview the key imaging findings in blunt and penetrating traumatic and iatrogenic injuries of the ureter, as well as to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different imaging modalities for accurately and rapidly establishing or excluding the diagnosis of ureteral injuries, with an emphasis on MDCT. The potential causes of missed ureteral injuries will also be discussed.
