1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Horseshoe kidney (HSK) is not an uncommon genitourinary anomaly, with incidence of about 1 in 400. Males are more commonly affected than females. HSK with a single ureter is extremely rare. We report the case of infant boy with HSK with a single ureter, presenting as case of posterior urethral valves (PUV) and obstructive megaureter. Radiological investigations showed PUV, which was managed via resection using urethrotome, and obstructive megaureter, which was managed temporarily by distal cutaneous ureterostomy and then by definitive ureteral reimplantation surgery. To our knowledge, no single case with a similar presentation has been reported in the literature.
