Early double J stent removal in renal transplant patients to prevent urinary tract infection - systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

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 stents are routinely used in renal transplant and are associated with reduced urological complications but increased urinary tract infections (UTIs). There is no agreement on the preferred time to removal of stents after transplantation. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing stent duration of <14 days vs > =14 days. Electronic databases were searched to identify RCTs that compared early vs late stent removal. Primary outcome was urinary tract infections. Secondary outcomes included various urological complications. No significant difference in UTI rates was demonstrated between short and long stent duration (relative risk (RR) 0.85, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.44-1.64), with significant heterogeneity (I
