Optimizing the Diagnosis of Ureteral Complications After Kidney Transplantation Using Retrograde Multidetector Computed Tomography Urography: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Ureteral complications remain a significant cause of morbidity following kidney transplantation and may threaten graft survival if not diagnosed promptly. Retrograde multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) urography has emerged as a valuable imaging modality for detailed evaluation of the transplant ureter. This case series highlights the role of retrograde MDCT urography in the assessment of post-transplant ureteral complications, particularly urine leaks and ureteral obstructions, in patients with inconclusive or non-diagnostic ultrasound findings. In the presented cases, retrograde MDCT urography accurately localized the site and extent of ureteral leaks, facilitated timely therapeutic decision-making, and contributed to preservation of graft function. The technique provided high spatial resolution and comprehensive anatomical visualization of the collecting system and ureter. These observations support the role of retrograde MDCT urography as a reliable and effective adjunct imaging modality of the diagnostic algorithm for renal transplant recipients with suspected urological complications.
