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

purposeTo develop a novel adaptation of the Whitaker test for assessing the surgical effects of ileal ureter replacement (IUR), and to evaluate its feasibility and effect in the postoperative evaluation. PATIENTS AND

methodsFrom November 2021 to September 2023, patients undergoing the modified Whitaker test following IUR were prospectively enrolled. The relative pressure was defined as the pelvis pressure minus the bladder pressure. Successful nephrostomy removal was defined as absence of symptoms and improved or stable hydronephrosis.

resultsThe 51 ureters from 39 patients underwent the modified Whitaker test after IUR. The modified Whitaker test was performed successfully on all patients without any reported discomfort. The relative pressure of 47 ureters kept steady (< 15 cmH

conclusionThe modified Whitaker test was a safe and effective approach for the evaluation of surgical effects of IUR, offering additional evidence to assess the safety of nephrostomy tube removal.
