Metal stent for the ureteral stricture after surgery and/or radiation treatment for malignancy.
Article in BMC urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundTo assess the efficacy and safety of self-expanding metal ureteral stent for the stricture following surgery and/or radiation for malignancy.
methodsWe performed 36 metal ureteral stent insertion procedures (32 patients) between May 2019 and June 2020. The main inclusion criterion was the patients with ureteral stricture due to surgery and/or radiation treatment for malignancy. The diagnosis of stricture was ascertained by history and radiographic imaging. The etiologies underlying the strictures were: surgery and/or radiation therapy for cervical and rectal cancer, surgery for ovarian cancer. The primary outcome was the stent patency rate, and the secondary outcomes were the postoperative complications and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Stent patency was defined as stent in situ without evident migration, unanticipated stent exchange or recurrent ureteral obstruction. Cost analysis was calculated from stent cost, anesthesia cost and operating room fee.
resultsThe pre-metallic stent GFR was 22.53 ± 6.55 mL/min/1.73 m
conclusionsThe current study demonstrated that metal ureteral stent is effective and safe in the treatment of stricture following surgery and/or radiation therapy for malignant cancer. Patients hydronephrosis could be improved by the stent placement.
