Ureteral reimplantation for the management of pelvic lipomatosis.

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
Introduction: Pelvic lipomatosis is a rare benign disease characterized by urethral elongation, bladder deformity, and/or hydronephrosis. Conservative management is not effective, and urinary diversion is the most effective treatment option but is usually unacceptable for relatively young patients. Ureteral reimplantation seemed to be an appropriate modality under these conditions. We present one case in which pelvic lipomatosis was managed with ureteral reimplantation. Patient presentation: A 45-year-old, previously healthy man presented with right flank pain. Pelvic CT and CT urography showed excessive pelvic fat, bilateral hydronephrosis, tortuous ureters, and a pear-shaped bladder, all of which indicated a diagnosis of pelvic lipomatosis. We performed laparoscopic bilateral urinary tract infection on this patient. At follow-up, bilateral hydronephrosis and flank pain were greatly relieved. Conclusion: Pelvic lipomatosis can be managed safely and effectively by urinary tract infection, but longer follow-up periods are needed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of this approach.
