Investigating the Abnormal Presentation of Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction in Adolescence: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of pediatric nephrology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 and Aim: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a common cause of hydronephrosis and is typically diagnosed antenatally. About 70% of these cases will self-resolve; however, symptomatic children may present with abdominal pain (i.e. Dietl crisis), vomiting, rash, or fever. Case Presentation: A 14-year-old male patient presented with cyclical vomiting every two months for the past two years. The patient's mother also described an eight-year history of headaches and intermittent abdominal pain. A renal magnetic resonance urography scan revealed decreased right kidney function and delayed cortex to ureter transit time. A pyeloplasty and stent placement were performed to correct the obstructing vessel. Conclusion: Clinical guidelines for abdominal pain and cyclical vomiting earlier in the patients' healthcare may have led to an appropriate workup and treatment years before. We recommend physicians consider UPJO as a differential diagnosis in adolescent patients with cyclical vomiting and abdominal pain and consult the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (NASPGHN) guidelines to better guide the diagnosis.
