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

Interventional radiology-operated endoscopy has a small but growing number of applications. In this clinical case report, we describe the use of an endoscope to assist the traversal of a high-grade ureteral stricture from percutaneous nephrostomy (i.e., antegrade) access. Direct visualization of the stricture allowed the identification of a central channel that was not present in fluoroscopic images, making endoscopy essential to the technical success of the procedure. Endoscopy is a powerful adjunct to image-guided techniques, particularly in challenging interventions or cases with complex anatomy.
