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

Purpose: To recommend the classification of unilateral genital tract obstruction with ipsilateral renal anomaly (UGTOIRA) syndrome into five types based on the site of obstruction, and to analyze the clinical manifestations and precise diagnosis of the syndrome. Methods: The data, including demographic characteristics, symptoms, and precise diagnoses from 59 patients over the last decade, were retrospectively analyzed. Data analysis was conducted using the statistical software package SPSS 26.0. Results: All 59 patients diagnosed with UGTOIRA syndrome were classified into five types based on the site of obstruction: Type I (vaginal obstruction) (45, 76.3%), Type II (cervicovaginal obstruction) (7, 11.9%), Type III (cervical obstruction) (3, 5.1%), Type IV (unilateral partial cervical aplasia) (3, 5.1%), and Type V (Unilateral isthmus atresia) (1, 1.7%). Of these cases, there were 34 cases (57.6%) with communication and 25 cases (42.4%) without communication between the left and right genital tracts. The chief complaints included dysmenorrhea alone in 28 cases (47.5%), dysmenorrhea accompanied by blood dripping after menstruation in 12 cases (20.3%), blood dripping after menstruation alone in 14 cases (23.7%), purulent vaginal secretions in one case (1.7%), vaginal pain in one case (1.7%), irregular menstruation in one case (l.7%), and infertility in two cases (3.4%). The precise diagnostic criteria include the affected side, abnormalities in the kidney and ureter, the site of obstruction, the location of blood accumulation, the size of the ipsilateral genital tract, whether there is communication and its site, the type based on the site of obstruction, and the presence and type of complications. Conclusion: This classification of UGTOIRA syndrome encompasses the anatomical features of all cases reported in our study. Only by fully understanding the anatomical characteristics of this syndrome and identifying its clinical manifestations can clinicians make precise diagnoses as early as possible and provide individualized management.
