Factors associated with reflux resolution in extravesical laparoscopic and robotic surgery.

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 aims to assess the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic or robotic surgery for primary vesicoureteral reflux and elucidate the factors contributing to vesicoureteral reflux resolution. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of consecutive patients who underwent extravesical laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation or robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation at our institution between March 2012 and July 2020. First, we reviewed surgical outcomes in the paediatric ( Results: The combined success rates for both procedures were 89.1% in the paediatric group and 70.0% in the adult group. The overall success rate among paediatric patients was not significantly different between those who underwent laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation (91.1%) and those who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation (85.5%). Post-operative urinary retention was observed in 5.0% and 6.7% of paediatric and adult patients, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that the ureteral diameter measured during surgery was significantly associated with vesicoureteral reflux resolution regardless of the use of a robotic platform ( Conclusion: Both laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation are favourable and safe procedures for paediatric patients with primary vesicoureteral reflux. To improve the success rate, a sufficient length of the submucosal tunnel must be ensured based on intraoperative measurements of ureteral diameter.
