Application of ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrostomy in the treatment of a solitary kidney with hydronephrosis due to renal tuberculosis.

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
purposeTo investigate the value of ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrostomy and nephrostomy tube replacement for treating a solitary kidney with hydronephrosis due to renal tuberculosis.
methodsClinical data of patients with a solitary kidney with hydronephrosis caused by renal tuberculosis who underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrostomy in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The associated success rate and complications were statistically analyzed, pre- and post-catheterization changes in serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels were compared, success rate and complications of nephrostomy tube replacement in patients with long-term catheterization were statistically analyzed, and the impact of long-term catheterization on patient life was investigated.
resultsOverall, 32 patients aged 17-75 years (average age: 44.1 ± 16.9 years) underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrostomy. Sixty-three punctures were performed; the puncture success rate was 100%. The levels of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen of patients decreased after catheterization, and the differences between the pre-catheterization and post-catheterization were significant (P < 0.05). There were 1, 3, and 12 cases of serious, minor, and fistula-related complications, respectively. The mean duration of the indwelling catheter was 56.7 ± 36.2 (range, 13-120) months. The number of nephrostomy tube replacements was 344 times, and the success rate was 100%. All patients could take care of the puncture point by themselves.
conclusionUltrasound-guided percutaneous nephrostomy and nephrostomy tube replacement have a high success rate and few complications, which can improve the renal function of patients. It is of great value for treating a solitary kidney with hydronephrosis caused by renal tuberculosis.
