The results of ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement for obstructive uropathy: A single-centre 10-year experience.
Article in Turkish journal of urology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the results of ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement performed solely by urologists. We present our relevant one decade experience in a tertiary care hospital. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe evaluated technical success and complication rates of ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement for obstructive uropathy in our clinic, between December 2004 and January 2015. Data were retrieved retrospectively from patients' files. This procedure was performed by urologists and two different methods for renal access were employed: Seldinger technique and direct puncture technique. Percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement was considered successful if the tube was placed in the renal pelvis and drained urine spontaneously and adequately. Complications were classified according to the Guideline of Society of Interventional Radiology Guidelines for Percutaneous Nephrostomy.
resultsFour hundred and fifteen percutaneous nephrostomy tube placements were performed in 354 patients (165 men and 159 women) suffering from obstructive uropathy due to several benign (57.3%) or malign (42.7%) diseases. The mean age in this study group was 43.2 years (range 27 to 81). We were found that 228 procedures were performed by using the Seldinger technique and 187 using direct puncture technique. The overall technical success, major and minor complications rates were 96.1%, 11.1%, and 7.7%, respectively. The Seldinger technique and direct puncture technique were compared: technical success rate was 97.8% vs. 94.1% (p=0.052). There was no difference between the two techniques in terms of major and minor complication rates.
conclusionUltrasound-guided percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement is a safe, easy and effective technique for providing temporary or permanent drainage of an obstructed renal pelvi-calyceal system. This procedure can be performed effectively and safely by an urologist.
