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

objectiveTo examine the safety, feasibility and durability of robotic reimplantation of ureteroenteric stricture after radical cystectomy. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective multi-institutional review was performed for all patients undergoing robotic repair of ureteroenteric stricture from January 2010 to January 2019. Functional outcomes and complications were followed and data were analyzed with SPSS statistical software.

resultsA total of 46 patients and 58 renal units were identified, of which 15 had right sided, 19 left sided and 12 patients had bilateral strictures. Presentation of stricture was asymptomatic in 14 (30.4%) patients. Symptomatic presentations included infection in 22 (47.8%), worsening renal function in 11 (23.9%) and pain in 3 (6.5%) patients. Median time from cystectomy to diagnosis of stricture was 5 months (1-40). Median stricture length was 1.5 cm (range 0.5-10). All strictures were of benign etiology except for 4 (6.9%), which were due to malignancy. Overall, 49 (84.5%) ureters underwent primary re-implantation, while 9 (15.5%) required Boari-like advancement flaps prior to re-implantation. Median operative time was 190 min (range 45-540) with median estimated blood loss of 50 mL (range 25-2000) and median length of stay of 2 days (range 1-33, IQR 2-4). Seven (15.2%) patients experienced complications; 3 (6.5%) were low grade and 4 (8.7%) high grade. With median follow up of 18 months (range 1-51) the stricture recurrence rate was 8.6%.

conclusionRobotic reimplantation of ureteroenteric strictures following radical cystectomy is safe and feasible in experienced centers with high success rates.
