Urosepsis and abscess in an adult with a triplicated renal collecting system treated percutaneously and endoscopically.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ureteral triplication is an extremely rare congenital disorder of the urinary tract. A review of the literature has shown that only about 100 cases have been reported worldwide. We present a case of a 50-year-old female with a known complete ureteral duplication on the right side and incomplete ureteral triplication on the left side that presented with signs of sepsis accompanied by a tender left flank mass. A detailed evaluation including imaging studies and endoscopy revealed a middle moiety obstruction causing abscess formation in the collecting system. A connection between the mid and lower moieties was demonstrated through an upper calyx of the lower moiety. The abscess was drained, and the patient further underwent ureteral stents placement to both the mid and lower ureters. Following antimicrobial treatment and several weeks of maximal drainage, the connection between the moieties was obviated, with no further episodes of urinary tract infection documented in follow up.
