Allium covered metal stent for treatment of malignant ureteral obstruction.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Malignant ureteral obstruction (MUO) has the potential to result in a range of outcomes, including varying degrees of hydronephrosis and renal impairment. Allium covered metal stents have provided a new, highly effective treatment option for MUO. Our objective was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Allium covered metallic stent for the treatment of malignant ureteral obstruction. Methods: Clinical data of 29 patients who underwent endoscopic insertion of an Allium ureteral stent between October 2019 and August 2021 at Yongchuan Hospital, affiliated with Chongqing Medical University, were analyzed retrospectively. At one, three, six and 12 months after insertion, serum creatinine was measured, the width of the renal pelvis was rechecked under ultrasound guidance, and the position and shape of the stent were checked by abdominal x-ray. Data on long-term stent patency, incidence of complications, changes in renal function and hydronephrosis grade were collected and analyzed. Ureteral stent symptom questionnaire (USSQ) was administered preoperatively and after six months in 22 patients with previous stent history. Results: Allium covered metal stents ( Conclusions: Allium ureteral stents are a safe and effective treatment option for malignant ureteral obstruction, with good long-term patency, helping to preserve renal function and improve quality of life.
