Ureter Rupture From Ureterovesical Junction Obstruction in a Child.
Article in Cureus, 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
Ureteral rupture in children with ureterovesical junction obstruction (UVJO) is rare. We report the case of a five-year-old boy diagnosed with right UVJO who was lost to follow-up for one year and later referred to our department, presenting with acute abdominal pain. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed right hydronephrosis, hydroureter, and unilateral ascites. Serum creatinine level significantly decreased within six hours, suggesting urinary ascites due to ureteral rupture. Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) kidney scintigraphy demonstrated significantly decreased function of the right kidney (16%) compared to the left (84%). Pediatric surgery revealed right UVJO with a ruptured distal right ureter, which was reconstructed surgically. As this case illustrates, routine follow-up of patients with congenital urinary tract obstruction is critical to avoid extreme morbidity.
