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

Congenital mid-ureteral strictures (CMS) are rare. Most congenital strictures occur at the ureteropelvic junction or ureterovesical junction, with mid-ureteral strictures accounting for only 4-5% of all cases of ureteral obstruction in children. Furthermore, there are very few reports of coexisting mid-ureteral stricture and ureterovesical junction obstruction (UVJO). Here, we report a case of coexisting UVJO and CMS. CMS was not detected on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, and hydronephrosis remained after ureteroneocystostomy. Therefore, MRI was repeated and CMS was diagnosed, for which we performed ureteroureterostomy. Intraoperative retrograde pyelography (RGP) aids definitive diagnosis of UVJO.
