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

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an inflammatory clinical entity with many extraintestinal symptoms, including urinary tract manifestations. However, the bilateral ureteral obstruction is extremely rare. We report a case of bilateral ureteral obstruction in a 12-year-old male patient with ulcerative colitis (UC). Ultrasonography in the context of sudden anuria revealed bilateral ureterovesical junction (UVJ) obstruction, and the following cystoscopy verified the presence of fragile calculi in both edematous ureteral orifices. The literature data on UC in the pediatric population are scarce. Sudden deteriorating oliguria in an UC patient may result from secondary obstructive uropathy. Immediate diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent acute kidney injury.
