The "UW-LPHS Test": A New Test to Predict the Outcome of Renal Autotransplant for Loin Pain Hematuria Syndrome.
Article in Experimental and clinical transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectivesThe objectives of this pilot study were twofold. First, we aimed to elicit whether the "UW-LPHS test" definitively localizes pain from patients' loin pain hematuria syndrome to the ureter and thus proves our hypothesis. Second, we aimed to understand whether a positive UW-LPHS test predicts a successful outcome after renal autotransplant. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe UW-LPHS test is described in detail in this manuscript. Briefly, 0.5% bupivacaine is injected into the ureter of the affected side and kept there using a balloon catheter for 5 minutes.
resultsAll six patients studied had complete pain relief at a mean follow-up of 9.2 months after renal autotransplant. All patients were successfully weaned from opioids and have returned to a normal lifestyle.
conclusionsThe UW-LPHS test can be used to predict renal autotransplant outcomes and should be applied to all patients who are being considered for this operation.
