Renal colic during pregnancy: Diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. Literature review.
Review in Central European journal of urology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionRenal colic during pregnancy is a rare urgency but is one of the most common non-obstetric reasons for hospital admission. The management often means a challenge for the urologist and gynecologist due to the complexity involved in preserving the maternal and fetal well-being. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe performed a literature search within the PubMed database. We found 65 related articles in English. We selected 36 for this review prioritizing publications in the last two decades.
resultsThe anatomical and functional changes of the genitourinary system during pregnancy are well documented; also during pregnancy, there are several metabolic pro-lithogenic factors. The most common clinical presentation is flank pain accompanied by micro or macro hematuria. US provides data identifying renal obstruction shown by an increased renal resistance index. MRI allows differentiating the physiological dilatation from the pathological caused by an obstructive stone showing peripheral renal edema and renal enlargement. Low dose CT has been determined to be a safe and highly accurate imaging technique. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the initial management of patients should be conservative. When conservative management fails the interventional treatment is mandatory, a urinary diversion of the obstructed renal unit either by a JJ stent or through a PCN catheter has to be done. The definitive management of the stone can be done in the postpartum or deferred ureteroscopy can be considered during pregnancy.
conclusionsRenal colic during pregnancy is an uncommon urgency, so it is important for the urologist to know the management of this condition.
