Deflux as a Minimally Invasive Solution for Vesicoureteral Reflux Following Ureteral Reimplantation.
Article in Journal of emergencies, trauma, and shock. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A middle-aged female with a history of iatrogenic right ureteral injury and surgical reimplantation was referred to our clinic for recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) with right-sided pyelonephritis and fever. The workup revealed Grade 4 vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) on cystogram and moderate hydroureteronephrosis with cortical scarring on computed tomography. She was offered surgical repair versus attempted minimally invasive endoscopic treatment. The patient elected for endoscopic treatment with a hyaluronic acid copolymer (Deflux), a bulking agent typically used to treat VUR in children. Posttreatment results showed a significant reduction in VUR severity, reduction of her recurrent UTIs, and resolution of chronic flank pain. This case report demonstrates a successful utilization of this approach for symptomatic reflux following ureteral reimplantation in an adult.
