Successful use of ovarian vein as a ureteral substitute for long-segment ureteral stricture post-pelvic radiotherapy: a case report.
Article in BMC surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLong-segment ureteral stricture secondary to radiotherapy for female pelvic malignancies represents a severe complication, significantly impairing patients' renal function and quality of life. Despite the availability of multiple treatment modalities, this condition remains challenging to manage, with high recurrence rates and perioperative complication rates. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 57-year-old female patient who underwent surgical treatment for cervical malignancy. After postoperative pelvic radiotherapy, the patient developed long-term left ureteral stricture. Both transurethral ureteral stenting and ureterocystostomy failed to achieve satisfactory results. Finally, the left ureter was successfully reconstructed using the ovarian vein. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and no ureteral fistula or restenosis occurred during the 3-year follow-up.
conclusionsAlthough current evidence suggests that ovarian vein substitution for the ureter in treating radiation-induced long-segment ureteral stricture yields favorable prognosis at 3 years postoperatively, its long-term efficacy still requires further in-depth research.
