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

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the radiological outcomes of robot-assisted ureteric reimplantation. The secondary objectives were to assess the demographics of patients, aetiology of ureteric pathology, length of stay, presence of postoperative lower urinary tract symptoms, and complication rates and to compare these outcomes with those in the current literature. Methods: A retrospective multi-centre cohort study was conducted, including all patients undergoing robot-assisted ureteric reimplantation for various indications. Demographic data were collected as well as the aetiology of ureteric pathology, type of surgery, length of stay, and any postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade). The radiological and functional outcomes were also collected. Results: Thirty-four cases that underwent robot-assisted ureteric reimplantation were reviewed. The mean age was 55 years. Psoas hitch and Boari flap were performed in 20 and eight cases, respectively. The mean length of stay was 5.7 days. The radiological resolution was achieved in 94% of cases. Major complications, defined as Clavien-Dindo grade III or above, occurred in four (12%) cases. Conclusion: Robot-assisted ureteric reimplantation, while relatively novel, has proven to be a viable alternative to traditional open surgery.
