Outcome analysis of immediate and delayed laparoscopic pyeloplasty in infants with severe ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective: The treatment timing of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in infants remains controversial. This study aimed to compare the recovery effect of renal morphology of immediate and delayed laparoscopic pyeloplasty in infants with severe UPJO. Methods: The infants with severe UPJO-induced hydronephrosis who underwent laparoscopic pyeloplasty according to their age at the time of surgery [the immediate treatment (IT) group: ≤1 month of birth, the delayed treatment (LT) group: 3-6 months of birth] in our center between 2010 and 2019 were enrolled in this study. Ultrasonography was used to assess renal morphology, including anteroposterior diameter (APD) of a pelvic, parenchymal thickness (PT), polar length (PL), and Society of Fetal Urology (SFU) grade. Preoperative and postoperative renal morphological outcomes at 6, 12, and 24 months were measured and compared. Results: During this period, a total of 135 patients were assigned to receive either IT ( Conclusion: Immediate laparoscopic pyeloplasty for the infant with severe ureteropelvic junction obstruction is effective, and it can accelerate the recovery of renal morphological indices in infants with severe UPJO-induced hydronephrosis.
