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

Case: A 22-year-old male smoker presented with intermittent right flank pain lasting over a year. He had a history of atrophied left kidney and gout. Physical exam revealed mild right renal angle tenderness. Outcome: Initial imaging, pointed to a diagnosis of ureteropelvic junction stenosis. During surgery, a type two retrocaval ureter was discovered. Transposition pyelo-pyelostomy was performed to repair the ureter, and a double-J stent was inserted. Conclusion: This case highlights the challenge of accurately diagnosing retrocaval ureter, especially type, based on initial radiological images.
