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.
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
backgroundObstructive uropathy is a very common pathology of the genitourinary system which, if untreated, leads to renal impairment, end-stage renal failure and death. Particularly in the case of acute obstructive uropathy, urgent decompression is necessary to prevent compression-mediated ischaemia of the renal parenchyma and the development of irreversible renal failure. Percutaneous nephrostomy is a well-established and relatively safe image-guided procedure used to obtain access to the renal collecting system and is the procedure of choice for the infected obstructed kidney, minimising the risk of septic shock and possible death. Subsequent internalisation via antegrade ureteric stenting is frequently employed to relieve obstruction at the level of the causative lesion. PURPOSE: CIRSE Standards of Practice documents recommend a reasonable approach to, and best practices for, performing procedures, in this instance, Nephrostomy and Ureteric Stent Placement and Exchange.
methodsThe writing group, established by the CIRSE Standards of Practice Committee, consisted of five clinicians with internationally recognised expertise in this topic, and one research assistant (I.I.). The writing group reviewed the existing literature, performing a pragmatic evidence search using PubMed to search for publications in English relating to human subjects from 2001 to 2025. Relevant older primary sources were included where the data have not been updated.
resultsA document was produced, making recommendations for practice based on currently available evidence in a range of clinical scenarios.
