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 association between a duplex renal collecting system and ectopic ureter insertion is well-established. Although congenital genitourinary abnormalities are usually detected during childhood, incidentally, or due to underlying symptoms or medical complications, a few cases might not be diagnosed/treated until adulthood. Herein, we present a case of a 43-year-old lady who came to the emergency department with acute left flank pain associated with a burning sensation during micturition for four days. Imaging showed a duplex collecting system, and findings suggestive of obstructive uropathy. The patient underwent an initial trial of left ureteroscopy that was unsuccessful. Therefore, the interventional radiology (IR) department was consulted to perform left percutaneous nephrostomy insertion with antegrade ureteric stenting, where the patient was noted to have ectopic ureter insertion into the anterior wall of the vagina by antegrade ureterogram. The patient underwent ureter re-implantation to save the kidney from further insult.
