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

Since its first clinical application in 1984, the endoscopic subureteral injection of bulking agents has become an alternative to long-term antibiotic prophylaxis and open surgical intervention in the treatment of VUR in children. The 15 min day care endoscopic procedure has gained worldwide popularity in the management of VUR in children. Over the years, multiple studies have demonstrated safety and long-term efficacy of this minimally invasive outpatient procedure. Nowadays almost 90% of the surgical treatment of VUR in Sweden is done by endoscopic procedure. In the current article, our aim was to review how the endoscopic treatment of VUR developed.
