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

Background: Blunt ureteral avulsion represents a rare and serious condition; its treatment depends on many factors, including severity, location, timing, and patient condition. Complete ureteral avulsion makes it challenging to insert a ureteral stent or nephrostomy tube; it is often repaired immediately by open surgery. However, there are few reports of robot-assisted ureteral reconstruction (RAUR) using a buccal mucosal graft (BMG) for traumatic complete ureteral avulsion. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the RAUR using BMG during a 14-month follow-up period. Case Description: We report the case of an 18-year-old man with blunt trauma from a motorcycle accident who was diagnosed with multiple organ injuries, including complete left proximal ureteral avulsion. Simultaneous antegrade and retrograde ureterography revealed separate ureter lengths of 55 mm. Eight months following nephrostomy tube insertion, the patient was successfully treated with RAUR using BMG for delayed definitive repair. After the follow-up period, no radiographic evidence of hydronephrosis or subjective symptoms was observed, and no significant complications were noted. Conclusions: Nephrostomy contributed to delayed definitive reconstruction. Our initial experience, which yielded good outcomes, demonstrates that RAUR using a BMG may be a feasible and safe treatment option for blunt ureteral avulsion.
