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

Proximal ureteral atresia is an exceedingly rare presentation of congenital or neonatal hydronephrosis. We report the case of a full-term, female neonate born with an abdominal mass. On palpation, the mass occupied the right flank, and CT showed features suggestive of multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK). The patient had an ultrasound scan (USS)-guided right nephrostomy insertion for decompression, followed by a dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan showing a poorly functional right kidney. The patient underwent nephrectomy, which showed a right MCDK along with proximal ureteral atresia. The patient was discharged on the sixth postoperative day and has been followed up in the outpatient clinic.
