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

Neonatal hydronephrosis is a common urinary tract anomaly often detected antenatally through routine fetal ultrasonography, requiring postnatal evaluation to determine its cause, severity, and need for intervention. We report the case of an infant diagnosed with isolated unilateral hydronephrosis shortly after birth, with serial imaging confirming persistent severe pelvicalyceal dilatation without contralateral involvement. Due to progressive obstruction and impaired drainage, the patient underwent unilateral pyeloplasty at six months of age. The postoperative course was uneventful, and follow-up imaging demonstrated excellent resolution of hydronephrosis with preserved renal function. This case underscores the importance of systematic postnatal evaluation of antenatal hydronephrosis, as early detection and monitoring enable timely intervention when necessary, thereby minimizing the risk of renal damage and optimizing long-term outcomes.
