1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Antenatal hydronephrosis (AHN) is the most frequently detected abnormality by prenatal ultrasonography. Differential diagnosis of AHN includes a wide variety of congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract ranging from mild abnormalities such as transient or isolated AHN to more important ones as high-grade congenital vesicoureteral reflux or ureteropelvic junction obstruction. It is well known that the outcome depends on the underlying etiology. Various grading systems have been proposed for the classification of AHN on prenatal and postnatal ultrasonography. Mild isolated AHN represents up to 80% of cases, is considered to be benign, and majority of them resolve, stabilize, or improve during follow-up. Controversies exist regarding the diagnosis and management of some important and severe causes of AHN such as high-grade vesicoureteral reflux and ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Current approach is becoming increasingly conservative during diagnosis and follow-up of these patients with less imaging and close follow-up. However, there is still no consensus regarding the clinical significance, postnatal evaluation, and management of infants with AHN. The aim of this review is to discuss the controversies and provide an overview on the management of AHN.
