A Review on the Etiology, Prevention, and Management of Ureteral Injuries During Obstetric and Gynecologic Surgeries.
Review in International journal of women's health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Iatrogenic ureteral injuries are a rare but serious complication of some gynecological and obstetric procedures with both high morbidity and legal implications. The incidence varies widely depending on the type and extent of the surgeries with about 70% unrecognized intraoperatively. When recognized intraoperatively and promptly managed, the prognosis is good. Ureteral injuries recognized postoperatively come with dire consequences for the patients and are litigation prone. Due to the proximity of the lower half of the ureters to the pelvic organs, 50% of the cases of injuries to the ureter occur within the jurisdiction of gynecological and obstetric practice. A good knowledge of the etiology, predisposing factors, appropriate surgical skills, proper identification of the course and deviation of the ureters, and intraoperative recognition of inadvertent damage to the ureter and its vasculature is required by all obstetricians and gynecologists to reduce the incidence of ureteral injuries by at least 50%. This review aims to add to what is already known, particularly among obstetricians and gynecologists practicing in resource-constrained settings.
