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

Long-segment proximal ureteral strictures present a significant surgical challenge, particularly in patients unwilling or unsuitable for an oral mucosal graft. Here we report the first series of laparoscopic ureteroplasty procedures with a spliced appendiceal mucosal graft (SAMG) for proximal ureteral stricture. The novel technique was performed successfully in all three patients without conversion to open surgery. The mean operative time was 178.3 min, mean estimated blood loss was 36.7 ml, and mean hospital stay was 5.6 d. The postoperative follow-up period was at least 12 mo, and all patients exhibited a reduction in hydronephrosis and no obstruction of the reconstructed ureteral segments. There were no major intraoperative or postoperative complications. SAMG ureteroplasty appears to be a safe and effective surgical method for repair of proximal ureteral stricture.
