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
Ureterocele is a pseudo-cyst dilation of the terminal submucosal ureter. It is a rare malformative uropathy, in particular associated with simplex ureter. We conducted a retrospective study over a period of 10 years. Twelve medical records of patients whose data were collected at the Department of Paediatric Surgery of Monastir between 2006 and 2016 were examined. The average age of patients was 2.7 years (ranging from 7 days to 11 years) with a sex ratio of 1. Patients´ clinical status was dominated by fever due to upper urinary tract infection. Diagnosis was mainly based on renal bladder ultrasound, intravenous urography (IVU) and retrograde urethrography and cystography. Ureterocele was unilateral in 10 cases and bilateral in 2 cases (on a total of 14 cases). It was associated with simplex ureter in all cases and all patients underwent endoscopic surgery. No perioperative adverse event was reported. The postoperative course was uneventful. Clinical and radiological improvements were reported in all cases. Ureterocele associated with simplex ureter is a very rare urinary abnormality. Early diagnosis is essential to avoid upper urinary tract involvement. Endoscopic treatment is a good alternative leading to satisfactory results.
