Risk factors for post-renal transplant ureteral stenosis: a survival analysis in a contemporary cohort.
Article in World journal of urology, 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
purposeUreteral stenosis remains a significant urological complication after kidney transplantation. This study aimed to identify independent risk factors for the development of post-transplant ureteral stenosis and to evaluate their temporal impact using survival analysis in a contemporary cohort.
methodsA retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted, including 342 deceased donor kidney transplant recipients between 2014 and 2024. The primary endpoint was the time to radiologically confirmed ureteral stenosis within the first post-transplant year. Univariate analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to identify associated factors. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was constructed to determine independent predictors, adjusting for clinically relevant variables.
resultsThe incidence of ureteral stenosis was 11.1% (n = 38). Multivariable Cox regression identified urinary fistula as the strongest associated factor (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 8.28; 95% CI: 3.87-17.72; p < 0.001), drastically reducing median stenosis-free survival to 188.9 days. Diabetes mellitus showed a borderline association with stenosis (HR: 2.41; 95% CI: 1.02-5.72; p = 0.046). Conversely, the prophylactic use of a double-J stent was an independent protective factor, reducing the risk of stenosis by 72% (HR: 0.28; 95% CI: 0.11-0.73; p = 0.009). Postoperative urinary tract infection showed a non-significant trend (HR: 1.89; p = 0.079).
conclusionUrinary fistula was the strongest predictor of ureteral stenosis, underscoring the importance of its prevention. Routine prophylactic double-J stenting appeared to be an effective protective strategy. Diabetes mellitus showed a borderline association with stenosis and may identify a subgroup requiring closer postoperative urological surveillance; this finding should be interpreted cautiously and confirmed in larger studies.
