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

The Fontan procedure is a palliative operation for patients with single ventricle congenital heart disease. In this case-report, we present the case of a 36-years-old man, with Fontan physiology and ureteropelvic junction obstruction, undergoing laparoscopic pyeloplasty. He presented with right flank pain and mild hydronephrosis of his right kidney. Although few laparoscopic operations have been described in the literature, this, to our knowledge, is the first laparoscopic urological procedure described in a patient with Fontan physiology. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty in patients with Fontan physiology, is an efficient and safe technique when performed in centers with extensive experience in laparoscopic procedures.
