Laparoscopic Disconnected Pyeloplasty to Treat Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction (UPJO) in Children.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the safety and clinical effectiveness of laparoscopic disconnected pyeloplasty in treating ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 122 young children with UPJO treated from February 2015 to February 2018 at our hospital. According to the surgery type, the patients were divided into 2 groups: a laparoscopic surgery group (group A, n=69) and a traditional open surgery group (group B, n=53). RESULTS The success rate of laparoscopic disconnected pyeloplasty was 100%, and none of the patients were converted to open surgery. The mean duration of use of painkillers was 27.6±11.3 h in group A and 58.2±18.2 h in group B (p=0.012), the postoperative hospital stay was 7.8±1.5 days in group A and 11.5±2.6 days in group B (p=0.041), and the length of the incision was 1.5±0.4 cm in group A and 5.2±1.1 cm in group B (p=0.007). The incidence rate of poor surgical wound healing was 0% in group A and 7.5% in group B (p=0.020). The incidence rate of ureteral stricture was 4.3% in group A and 3.8% in group B (p=0.874) during follow-up. The 1-year follow-up showed that both the anterior and posterior diameters and glomerular filtration rate were significantly improved from the preoperation period. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic disconnected pyeloplasty to treat UPJO in young children has the same early clinical effectiveness and safety as open surgery, and this procedure has the advantages of minimal trauma, quick recovery, and good cosmetic effect.
