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

Pelvic-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) is one of the leading causes of renal impairment in the paediatric population. Over the past few decades, the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape in this field has evolved significantly. We conducted a comprehensive quantitative bibliometric analysis of research trends in PUJO over the last four decades. A total of 2019 articles published between 1985 and 2025 were retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection and analysed using the Bibliometrix R package (version 4.3.2; K-Synth Srl, Naples, Italy) and VOSviewer (Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University, The Netherlands). The annual number of publications has increased steadily over the study period. The United States was the most productive country (n=574), while the
