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

Duplication of the kidney and ureter is a relatively rare congenital malformation compared with other systemic malformations. It is even rarer for the duplicate to have stones inside; therefore, the present study reports the case of a patient with complete repetitive ureteral malformations combined with occult stones who showed marked improvement in symptoms and good recovery after surgical treatment. The patient received a timely diagnosis and achieved a good treatment outcome. The patient was satisfied with the treatment and had a good follow-up. Early and accurate diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial for patients with recurrent ureteral malformations combined with occult stones, and can effectively improve patient prognosis.
