Pelvic Kidney With Contralateral Renal Vascular Variants: A Rare Anatomical Case From Djibouti.
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
A pelvic kidney is a rare congenital renal ectopia frequently associated with vascular anomalies. Knowledge of these variations is essential for diagnostic evaluation and surgical planning. We report the case of a 35-year-old man in whom a right pelvic kidney with unusual vascular variations was detected on computed tomography urography. A single renal artery arising from the anterior aspect of the aortic bifurcation supplied the ectopic kidney, which was drained by three right renal veins. In addition, the contralateral kidney, located in its normal anatomical position, also exhibited vascular variations, including two left renal arteries and two left renal veins. Pelvic kidneys are often associated with complex vascular patterns, as demonstrated here. Therefore, knowledge of these anatomical variations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and for safe surgical or interventional procedures, particularly in the management of renal vascular diseases and in the context of kidney transplantation.
