Double Ureter: Incidence, Types, and Its Applied Significance-A Cadaveric Study.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Introduction Congenital ureter anomalies such as double ureters are uncommon developmental anomalies of the renal system. An abnormal branching pattern of ureteric bud results in the formation of double ureter. This study examined the incidence of double ureter in cadavers of a South Indian population. Methods A total of 50 kidney and ureter specimens were carefully dissected out of the posterior abdominal wall and examined for the presence and subtype of double ureter. Results Of 50 kidneys, three (6%) specimens showed an incomplete double ureter, two on the right kidney and one on the left. In all three specimens, the double ureter fused at different levels to form a single ureter opening into the bladder. Conclusions The prevalence of incomplete double ureter is higher in this study compared with that in previous cadaveric studies. Ureteral injuries are a frequent complication of abdominal and pelvic surgeries. Hence, awareness about the types and varieties of double ureter will aid radiologists and surgeons in interpreting and diagnosing urological images and preventing accidental injury while performing surgery.
