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

Objectives: This retrospective study compared the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) and open pyeloplasty (OP) in adult patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Methods: Records of 46 adult patients who underwent pyeloplasty at the Department of Urology, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, between January 2014 and December 2023 were reviewed. Patients were divided into LP and OP groups. Collected variables included age, body mass index (BMI), gender, presentation, operative duration, estimated blood loss, complications, analgesic requirement, and pain score. Postoperative pain was assessed using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS Version 27 (IBM Corp, Armonk, USA). Results: A total of 46 procedures were performed: 36 (78%) LP and 10 (22%) OP. The mean age was 35.5 ± 18.4 years in the LP group and 33.6 ± 14.0 years in the OP group; mean BMI was 25.0 ± 5.5 and 25.3 ± 8.3, respectively. The mean hospital stay was significantly shorter in the LP group (5.7 ± 1.5 days) compared with the OP group (9.4 ± 4.2 days; Conclusion: LP is a safe and effective procedure associated with shorter hospital stay and reduced postoperative pain, supporting its adoption as the preferred option for adult UPJO.
