Cine magnetic resonance urography and Whitaker test: dynamic visualized and quantified tools in ileal ureter replacement.
Article in Translational andrology and urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundTo assess the feasibility and usefulness of cine magnetic resonance urography (MRU) and Whitaker test as postoperative evaluation tools of ileal ureter replacement.
methodsWe retrospectively collected the medical records of 42 patients who underwent ileal ureter replacement between August 2015 and August 2020. The morphology, luminal diameter, amplitude, contraction ratio, peristaltic frequency, ureteral jets and peristalsis efficiency were recorded in cine MRU. Under different perfusion loads, image and pressure changes of the reconstructed upper urinary tract were recorded in the Whitaker test. Patients were categorized into normal pressure and elevated pressure groups.
resultsA total of 42 patients underwent cine MRU, and 20 of them finished the Whitaker test successfully. The mean amplitude was 9.29±3.51 mm, and the contraction ratio was 0.607 (0.247-0.790). The median peristaltic efficiency was 0.75 (0.29-1). Three patients presented an unusual rise in renal pelvis pressure, which was 54, 26, 57 cmH
conclusionsCine MRU provides morphological and peristaltic motility of the ileal graft, cine MRU after ileal ureter replacement was recommended as a routine examination. The Whitaker test represents a complementary investigation to evaluate pressure changes to reveal the ability to transport urine, and it can be used as a supplementary examination to clarify equivocal cases.
