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

introduction and importanceBlunt traumatic injury to the genitourinary system is uncommon. Urinoma formation may occur in patients with blunt trauma after high grade renal injuries. In such cases, the presence of solitary kidney must be ruled out as it may affect treatment decisions. CASE PRESENTATION: A 21 years old male presented to our facility with complaints of abdominal pain and frank hematuria following physical assault. Physical examination revealed tenderness at the right flank. Laboratory evaluation showed a decreased hemoglobin level and urinalysis showed proteinuria and marked hematuria. Imaging findings were consistent with AAST Grade IV right renal injury affecting the renal pelvis with urinoma formation and congenital megacalyces. Incidental finding of unilateral renal agenesis on the left side was also noted. Our patient underwent Ureteroscopy with double-J stenting. Subsequent ultrasonography after the procedure showed resolution of the perirenal collection. DISCUSSION: The presence of solitary kidney must be ruled out in cases of high grade renal trauma as operative procedures may lead to catastrophic consequences in such cases. Urinoma formation after renal trauma may occur if the renal pelvis is injured and should be managed preferably by urinary diversion in the form of ureteral stenting over other operative procedures, especially in patients with anomalous solitary kidney.

conclusionPresence of bilateral kidneys should be confirmed before subjecting patients with high grade renal injury to operative procedures. Early ureteric stenting appears to be an effective method of urinary diversion for management of symptomatic urinomas in patients with anomalous solitary kidney.
