Understanding Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction From a Scientometric Perspective: How Is the Global Research Activity and Collaboration Going?
Review in BioMed research international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) has been identified as the most prevalent cause of prenatally diagnosed hydronephrosis, characterized by a reduction in urine flow from the renal pelvis into the ureter. Management of this condition poses a significant clinical challenge, given the difficulty in differentiating between mild and benign cases and those with the potential to progress to severe renal impairment. This study is aimed at clarifying the global research activity and collaborative trends in UPJO research by undertaking a scientometric analysis, with the objective of providing valuable insights into the state of UPJO research. Materials and Methods: Publications relevant to UPJO published between 1945 and 2024 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. The metrological software and graphing tools utilized included Bibliometrix 4.1.1, VOSviewer 1.6.20, GraphPad Prism 10, and Microsoft Excel 2020. Results: A total of 1447 publications between 1948 and 2024 were included. The United States contributed the most publications ( Conclusions: In recent decades, UPJO research has undergone consistent advancement, encompassing a multitude of disciplines and innovative therapeutic strategies. The predominant research initiatives have been concentrated in a select number of high-income countries. To facilitate further progress in this domain, there is a need to fortify international collaborations and promote translational research.
