Is ureteral stent an effective way to deliver drugs such as bacillus Calmette-Guérin to the upper urinary tract? An experimental study.
Article in Therapeutic advances in urology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundWe aim to evaluate the distribution in the upper urinary tract of intravesical-delivered fluids, after inducing vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) with a double J stent.
methodsIn group 1 (
resultsIn group 1, after immediate insertion of ureteral stent reflux occurred in 51.4% (
conclusionRetrograde delivery of fluids such as bacillus Calmette-Guérin to the upper urinary tract through double J stents can be effective; however, it is mainly effective after several days with ureteral stent and relatively large volumes might be instilled into the bladder.
