Post-pubertal stability of split renal function after pyeloplasty performed in childhood.

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
Objectives: While early outcomes after pyeloplasty are well-documented, long-term split renal function (SRF) stability, particularly beyond puberty, remains unclear. This study evaluates SRF after prepubertal pyeloplasty and identifies factors associated with late deterioration. Methods: A retrospective review included paediatric patients who underwent pyeloplasty between 2000 and 2025. Exclusion criteria were solitary kidney, missing imaging, congenital anomalies or prior pyeloplasty. Patients were categorised into two groups: Group 1 (no deterioration) and Group 2 (late deterioration after puberty), based on ≥5% decrease in SRF. Clinical, surgical and imaging parameters were compared among groups using Chi-square, Fisher's exact and Mann-Whitney Results: Out of 1493 patients, 191 were included: 152 (79.6%) in Group 1 and 39 (20.4%) in Group 2. Group 2 patients were younger at surgery, had more frequent renal pelvis reduction and persistent hydronephrosis at 1-year follow-up ( Conclusion: SRF may deteriorate after puberty despite initial post-operative stability. Renal pelvis reduction, persistent hydronephrosis at 1 year and younger age at surgery are associated with increased risk of deterioration.
