Bilateral complete ureter duplication presenting with hydronephrosis and spontaneous stone passage in a 25-year-old male: A rare case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Ureteric duplication is a rare anomaly in the urinary tract, with an incidence of 0.5% to 3%. Bilateral double ureters are even rarer, occurring in 1 of 500 individuals. A 25-year-old man presented with right flank pain and nausea. Physical examination revealed tenderness at the right renal angle. Urinalysis demonstrated microscopic hematuria, and Ultrasound showed enlargement in the lower pole of the right kidney, while the upper pole appeared normal. Intravenous pyelography confirmed bilateral complete ureter duplication. However, after a week of observation, a 5 mm calcium oxalate stone was passed, and this event demonstrated the underlying cause of hydronephrosis in the lower pole of the right kidney. Bilateral complete ureter duplication is a rare anomaly in the urinary tract. To our knowledge, the presence of bilateral complete ureter duplication with a single stone in the right limb of the right double ureter is a unique case that has not been reported in the existing literature.
