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

Caesarean section with associated ureteric injuries that damage kidney function is uncommon. Such injury in women with a solitary kidney has far-reaching effects if the diagnosis is delayed. The case report describes the successful acute management with stenting of ureteric damage after caesarean section in a woman with a solitary kidney. A 29-year-old woman presented with anuria, hypertension (174/101 mmHg) and flank pain 3 days after caesarean section. Physical examination was significant for peri-orbital oedema, left flank tenderness, pallor and delirium. A diagnosis of acute kidney injury was confirmed by elevated blood urea and creatinine levels. An ultrasound scan revealed a solitary hydronephrotic left kidney. She had successful acute management at a resource-deprived facility, with normal renal function at a 2-year follow-up. Proteinuria lasted for about three months after surgery. Recovery of solitary kidney function with acute kidney injury due to caesarean section ureteric injury may be associated with prolonged proteinuria without evidence of further functional deterioration.
