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

To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the outcomes of robotic-assisted laparoscopic extravesical ureteric reimplantation (RALUR) with conventional laparoscopic extravesical ureteric reimplantation (LEVUR) for primary vesicoureteric reflux in children. We searched the databases to identify all papers of RALUR and LEVUR between 2001 and 2020. Systematic review was performed to identify patient data, age, reflux grades, laterality, duration of surgery, time to discharge, success rate and complications. Heterogeneity was reported with I
