The Outcome of Transurethral Electro-Endoscopic Resection of Orthotopic Single System Ureterocoeles in Adults Nigerians.
Article in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Endoscopic transurethral electro-incision and resection are minimally invasive options for treating adult single system ureterocoele. Vesicoureteral (VU) reflux is frequently associated with ureterocoeles and can complicate the treatment. The literature on endoscopic management isscanty from sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed to describe the technique and outcome of adult patients who had transurethral incision and or deroofing of orthotopic single system ureterocoele. Methodology: This was a prospective study on patients who presented with single system ureterocoeles. All were diagnosed either by computerized axial tomography urography or intravenous urography and were followed up and monitored for resolution of symptoms, development of urinary tract infection, and ureterovesical reflux. The patients' demographic information such as their age, sex, details of endoscopic treatments, complications on follow-up were entered into Excel and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Results: There were eighteen ureteric units managed in 10 patients with single system ureterocoeles. The male: female ratio was 3:2. The 30-39-year age group (four; 40%) and 60-69year age groups (four; 40%) had the highest frequency. Six (33.33%) had calculi, and 83.30% presented with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Nine (50%) of the ureteric systems had transurethral deroofing of ureterocoele (TUDU), while eight (44.4%) had transurethral incision of ureterocoele (TUIU). Urinary tract infection was the commonest complication. Ureterovesical reflux was present in two and two developed refluxes after TUDU. The patients with refluxes had antibiotics with the resolution of the ipsilateral symptoms. All had preserved renal function. Conclusion: VU reflux inpatients that underwent endoscopic incision or deroofing for single system ureterocoele is infrequent and can be managed conservatively. It is an effective treatment for single system ureterocoeles and has minimal complications.
