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
introductionLaparoscopic ureterocalicostomy is a useful alternative to laparoscopic pyeloplasty for treating ureteropelvic junction obstruction under certain conditions. One concern regarding this technique is the inevitability of amputation of the renal lower pole to expose the lower renal calyx. CASE PRESENTATION: A 43-year-old man who presented ureteropelvic junction obstruction and multiple renal cysts underwent laparoscopic pyeloplasty, which could not be performed because of the intrarenal ureteropelvic junction. We switched the surgical technique to modified laparoscopic ureterocalicostomy, wherein amputation of the lower renal pole was substituted with fenestration of a renal cyst under the guidance of ureteroscopic light. Computed tomography performed 2 months postoperatively showed good patency of the anastomosis.
conclusionLight-guided laparoscopic renal cyst fenestration followed by ureterocalicostomy is feasible in patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction and lower pole renal cysts adjacent to the lower renal calyx.
