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
Background: To determine the safety and efficacy of successive retrograde dilatation of two balloons and a double D-J stent for the treatment of ureteroenteral anastomotic strictures in patients who had undergone radical cystectomy and Bricker urinary diversion. Methodology: A total of 25 patients with ureteroenteral anastomotic stricture following radical cystectomy and Bricker urinary diversion were treated with sequential dilatation of two balloons (F18 and F24), while the remaining other 32 patients were only dilated once. All patients were treated with ureteroscope or flexible ureteroscope-guided retrograde implantation of twin D-J stents (F5). Results: Sequential dilation required significantly longer hospital stay and surgery time than single dilation. When sequential dilatation was compared to single dilatation, both the length of stay and the time it took to do the operation were clearly longer. After a follow-up of 6 to 24 months, the success rate of sequential dilatation was 61.5%, in comparison to 58.847.1% for single dilatation (P=0.83<0.05). All patients did not appear to have serious complications, such as hemorrhage, intestinal injury, or egression of the stent. No serious complications occurred in all patients, such as hemorrhage, intestinal injury, or egression of the stent. Conclusion: Sequential retrograde dilatation with two balloons and double D-J stents is thought to be safe and effective for uretero-intestinal anastomotic strictures in patients having with brick ureteral diversions, and it is associated with fewer sequelae. It is worthwhile for clinical purposes.
