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

An ectopic ureter is an uncommon anomaly, usually associated with a duplicated urinary system. Up to 20% of ectopic ureters occur in a single system. In females, only 25% of ectopic ureters insert into the vagina and usually cause urinary incontinence, which can be confused with vaginal discharge. The diagnostic investigation includes urinary tract ultrasound, DMSA, and urethrocystography, which evaluate renal morphology and function, determining factors for surgical treatment decision that aims to preserve renal function, prevent the recurrence of infections, and reestablish urinary continence. The rarity of this anomaly and the delay in recognizing symptoms are factors related to late diagnosis.
