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

objectiveDiuretic renal scintigraphy is important in diagnosing pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) in antenatally detected hydronephrotic (ANH) kidneys. Early-phase dynamic renal scintigraphy has several pitfalls contributing to the false interpretation of obstructed drainage, especially after pyeloplasty. This study explores the utility of delayed imaging in

methodsData from May 2019 to January 2024 was retrospectively studied to identify infants with ANH who underwent surgery for PUJO and pre-and post-surgical assessment of renal drainage using

resultsIn a cohort of 104 patients with a mean age of 10.1 ± 6.5 months (range 2-36 months) at surgery, 106 renal units (bilateral involvement in two patients) were analyzed. There was no significant difference in the sum of obstructive and equivocal curve patterns (105 vs 79, p = 0.06) and T

conclusionDelayed images in diuretic renal scintigraphy are crucial in accurately interpreting post-pyeloplasty drainage patterns and help overcome pitfalls of the dynamic study.
