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
introductionHorseshoe kidney (HSK) is the most common renal fusion and malrotation anomaly, and ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) due to high ureteral insertion (HUI) is frequently associated with HSK. Bypass pyeloplasty (BP) is a non-dismembered surgical technique involving a side-to-side anastomosis between the ureter just distal to the UPJO and the dependent portion of the hydronephrotic renal pelvis, and is suited for HUI. Although several procedures have been suggested for UPJO in HSK patients, BP has not been discussed much. In this case report, we describe the detailed procedure for BP successfully performed in an HSK patient with UPJO due to HUI. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a girl aged 1 year and 10 months who had experienced intermittent abdominal pain and occasional vomiting for 1 month. She was diagnosed with dilation of the left renal pelvis and renal calyces (Society for Fetal Urology classification grade 3-4) on ultrasonography and subsequently referred to our hospital for diagnosis of left intermittent hydronephrosis. Renal scintigraphy revealed the HSK, and the differential renal function (DRF) in the left kidney was 16.3%. At 1 year and 11 months, she underwent retrograde left ureteropyelography and pyeloplasty. The retrograde left ureteropyelography showed the HUI and obstruction of the left ureter at approximately 45 mm from the cephalic edge of the umbilicus. We performed a 3.0-cm left flank incision to expose the left renal pelvis and ureter through the retroperitoneal route. HUI of the left ureter and crossing of a white cord-like structure that compressed the left ureter and renal pelvis just distal to the UPJO were identified. We divided the white cord-like structure and performed BP between the ureter just distal to the UPJO and the dependent portion of the renal pelvis. The postoperative course was good, with improvement in the renal pelvis dilation and the DRF in the left kidney. There has been no recurrence for >6 years after surgery.
conclusionsWe recommend BP as a physiological and suitable surgical approach that reduces the risk of impaired blood supply and postoperative anastomotic stenosis in HSK patients with UPJO due to HUI.
