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

We report an exceptionally rare case of ureteral stenosis caused by an extraskeletal chondroma. A woman in her 60s underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy for presumed uterine fibroid torsion, but later developed severe right flank pain. Imaging revealed hydronephrosis and ureteral stricture suspicious for tumor. Ureteroscopy with biopsy confirmed chondroma, representing only the second reported case worldwide after 1973. The patient has been managed with periodic ureteral stent exchanges, leading to symptom relief and improved hydronephrosis. This case highlights the extreme rarity of ureteral chondroma, the diagnostic challenge of differentiating it from malignancy, and the importance of histopathological confirmation.
