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

Ureterocele is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the dilation of the distal ureter and its protrusion into the bladder, often related with duplex collecting renal system, leading to urinary obstruction. While it commonly occurs in females, this case report presents the rare presentation of a massive ureterocele in a 2-day-old male neonate, causing urinary retention. A diagnostic workup revealed bilateral hydronephrosis and a massive ureterocele. Surgical intervention with endoscopic decompression of the ureterocele successfully alleviated the obstruction. At one year follow-up, patient was completely asymptomatic and serial follow-up ultrasonography demonstrated resolution of hydronephrosis, highlighting the successful management.
