Impact of urinary diversion on survival in locally advanced cervical carcinoma with obstructive uropathy in Tanzania.

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: Locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) can result in obstructive uropathy (OU). Urinary diversion (UD) is the treatment of LACC patients with OU. This study assessed the benefits of UD before or during radiotherapy by examining its effect on improving kidney function and survival in patients with LACC. Materials and methods: The study retrospectively analysed the clinical data of 119 women with LACC treated from January 2020 to December 2021. The treatment intention (radical or palliative) was decided by a multidisciplinary team based on the disease stage, Karnofsky performance status and degree of renal derangement. Treatment and outcome details were retrieved from electronic records. This included obtaining serum creatinine levels before the UD, 7 days after, 21 days after and 1 month after the UD. Time to normalisation of serum creatinine, feasibility of delivering planned treatment and overall survival were determined. The impact of various prognostic factors on outcomes was determined using univariate or multivariate analysis. The significance level was set at 0.05. Results: The mean age was 51.1 ± 9.9 years. Approximately a third of patients underwent UD. Percutaneous nephrostomy was the most frequently performed type of UD (92%). About 85% of patients had hydronephrosis, and 56.3% had unilateral hydronephrosis. The mean baseline serum creatinine level was 662 µmol/L for the entire cohort. There was a 53% reduction of serum creatinine from the baseline to 30 days post-UD ( Conclusion: UD was associated with a 53% reduction in baseline serum creatinine levels 30 days post-UD, reducing mortality risk by 40%.
