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

backgroundCongenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT) are the most common cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in children. Approximately one third of children with CAKUT have lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD).

aimThis article highlights the important aspects that need to be considered in kidney transplantation of children with complex urogenital malformations. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe paper reviews the existing literature regarding the evaluation, preparation, perioperative management, and follow-up of children with complex urogenital malformations and ESRD undergoing renal transplantation.

resultsComprehensive diagnostics are required before any pediatric kidney transplantation. If LUTD is suspected, voiding cystourethrography and a urodynamic examination should be performed. Treatment of symptomatic vesicoureterorenal reflux and LUTD is mandatory prior to pediatric kidney transplantation. Following successful kidney transplantation of children with congenital urogenital malformations, lifelong follow-up is required. Regular reevaluations of the bladder by means of urodynamic examinations are necessary. In patients following bladder augmentation with intestinal segments or urinary diversions in childhood, regular endoscopic examinations of the urinary tract are recommended to rule out secondary malignancy.

conclusionTreatment of children with complex urogenital malformations should be carried out in centers with appropriate expertise.
