Transvesicoscopic Politano-Leadbetter ureteral reimplantation in children with vesicoureteral reflux: A novel surgical technique.
Article in Investigative and clinical urology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Purpose: We introduce our novel procedure for transvesicoscopic ureteral reimplantation using the Politano-Leadbetter technique (TVUR-PL). We describe the detailed surgical procedure and report operative outcomes. Materials and Methods: We report a retrospective analysis of operative outcomes of TVUR-PL performed in children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) from January 2017 to July 2018. The analyzed operative outcomes included patient demographics, operative times, intra- and postoperative complications, indwelling duration of urethral Foley catheter, hospital length of stay, and treatment success. Results: A total of 47 patients (17 males, 30 females) underwent TVUR-PL during the study period, including 18 unilateral and 29 bilateral cases (76 ureters). All operations were successfully completed without open conversion. The median operative time was 121 minutes for unilateral cases and 178 minutes for bilateral cases. The median duration of placement of a urethral Foley catheter was 2 days. There were no intra- or postoperative complications. Only one patient (1/47 patients, 2.1%), who had no postoperative VUR on voiding cystourethrography, experienced febrile urinary tract infection during the follow-up period. Conclusions: Our novel TVUR-PL technique is a safe and effective minimally invasive surgical treatment option for children with VUR. The main advantage of our new operation is that it allows us to maintain the natural direction of the ureter after surgery.
