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: Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty is a classic and highly effective technique for treating congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become the preferred approach for infants and young children. However, a small working area and the complexity of reconstruction procedure pose significant challenges. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of four-point suspension fixation technique in laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty (LDP) for infants and young children with UPJO. Methods: This retrospective cohort enrolled 37 infants and young children diagnosed with UPJO and underwent transperitoneal LDP between 2014 and 2020. The 37 cases were divided into two Groups based on whether suspension fixation was applied during the transperitoneal LDP. Clinical characteristics and follow-up data of these cohorts were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Continuous variables with a normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) and analyzed using independent sample Results: In Group A, 21 cases underwent conventional LDP without suspension fixation, while in Group B, 16 cases underwent "suspension fixation" LDP. The operative time (237.9±63.0 Conclusions: The use of assisted suspension fixation in transperitoneal LDP is safe and efficient for infants and young children, helping to reduce operative time, overcome the small laparoscopic operating area, and address the steep learning curve, making it a valuable approach.
