A successful case of vascular hitch procedure in adulthood: A simpler alternative for the vascular obstruction of the pyelo-ureteral junction.
Article in Urology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Congenital obstruction of the upper urinary tract is often caused by the pyeloureteral junction syndrome, the lower polar vessel being the most common extrinsic etiology. We report on a case that was successfully treated using the Vascular HITCH, an alternative method with lower morbidity than Anderson and Hynes pyeloplasty considered the gold standard procedure. Our objective is to outline the aforementioned method and illustrate its ease of use and possible efficacy in carefully chosen adult patients. A very specific set of patients who meet pre- and post-operative criteria are required for vascular HITCH. The outcomes of this method are encouraging.
