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

Primary obstructive megaureter (POM) is an uncommon congenital anomaly rarely diagnosed in adults. We report the case of a 20-year-old man presenting with intermittent left flank pain for six months. Computed tomography revealed a markedly dilated left ureter containing a giant ureteral stone. The patient underwent open ureteral reimplantation with successful removal of the ureteral calculus. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and renal function was preserved. This case highlights the importance of considering Primary obstructive megaureter in the differential diagnosis of adults presenting with hydronephrosis and urolithiasis, as early recognition and appropriate surgical management can prevent renal impairment.
