Efficacy of ureterocalicostomy in treating secondary long-segment upper ureteral stricture.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of ureterocalicostomy for long-segment upper ureteral stricture.
methodsA total of 13 patients underwent ureterocalicostomy for long-segment upper ureteral stricture, and a long-term follow-up was carried out to observe postoperative results, complications and renal function at 6 months after surgery.
resultsAmong the 13 patients undergoing ureterocalicostomy, 12 achieved successful results with surgery. Nine of the 12 received open surgery and 3 patients received laparoscopic surgery. During the perioperative period, 3 patients developed fever while 2 patients had hematuria and irritation in lower urinary tract, and all improved after symptomatic treatment. The 12 patients with successful surgeries achieved remission of hydronephrosis without anastomotic stricture. At 6 months after surgery, the 12 patients had significantly decreased serum creatinine and cystatin C levels and markedly increased estimated glomerular filtration rate, as compared with those before surgery (P<0.05).
conclusionUreterocalicostomy is an effective, safe, optional treatment strategy for secondary long-segment upper ureteral stricture.
