Feasibility analysis of ambulatory surgery in pediatric ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic pyeloplasty for infants and children in an ambulatory surgery setting. Methods: 78 children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) admitted to the Department of Urology in Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from 1 January 2023 to 31 July 2024 (the inpatient group) and 74 children with UPJO admitted to the ambulatory ward from 1 January 2023 to 31 July 2024 (the ambulatory group) were retrospectively analyzed. The two groups were compared with respect to operative time, length of hospital stay, hospitalization cost, and postoperative complications. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of age at surgery, gender, ratio of unilateral UPJO, operative time. The hospitalization cost, length of hospital stay, indwelling urinary catheterization duration, and postoperative double J stent removal time in the ambulatory group were all shorter than those in the inpatient group. There was no significant difference between the two groups in postoperative complications such as reoperation, double J stent replacement, urinary tract infection, fever, vomiting and pain. Conclusion: Ambulatory surgery for pediatric UPJO is safe and effective. It reduces length of hospital stay and hospitalization cost, effectively improves bed utilization and turnover rate, and does not cause an increase in complication rates.
