Agarwal PolyLoop Ligation Technique for the Management of the Distal Ureter during Laparoscopic Assisted Nephroureterectomy.
Article in Current urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveManagement of the distal ureter during radical nephroureterectomy remains a controversial issue. This article describes a simple endoscopic PolyLoop ligation technique for managing the distal ureter during radical nephroureterectomy. TECHNIQUE: This endoscopic technique was used in 6 cases to manage the distal ureter during laparoscopic-assisted radical nephroureterectomy. The distal ureter with
resultsDistal ureter was managed successfully in all 6 cases using commercially available detachable Polyloop from Olympus. There were no perioperative complications relating to this technique.
conclusionThe PolyLoop ligation technique offers a simple and safer alternative to manage the distal ureter during radical nephroureterectomy.
