Ureteral Endometriosis Presenting as Recurrent Hydronephrosis: A Case Report.
Article in Research and reports in urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Ureteral endometriosis is an uncommon but potentially serious manifestation of deep endometriosis that may remain undetected until significant renal damage has occurred. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman with a 4-year history of right flank pain and macroscopic hematuria. She experienced recurrent bilateral hydronephrosis, managed previously with right-sided double J stents, while the left kidney was severely affected, asymptomatic, and diagnosed as non-functional for four years. Following removal of the right ureteral stent, she developed acute kidney injury necessitating urgent nephrostomy. Surgical exploration revealed distal ureteral fibrosis, and histopathological examination confirmed ureteral endometriosis. Ureteral reimplantation was successfully performed, leading to preservation of right renal function. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges of ureteral endometriosis and highlights the importance of early suspicion, multidisciplinary evaluation, and timely surgical management to prevent irreversible renal loss.
