Urologic Involvement in the Management of Ureteral Hernias: A Case Series.
Article in Case reports in urology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In this case series, we describe our approach to the urologic management of ureteral hernias. This is a single-institution, multi-surgeon cohort of patients who presented with an abdominal hernia involving a ureter between 2018 and 2025. Among eight patients, seven male patients (87%) had an inguinal hernia involving the ureter. Six patients underwent urologic intervention at the time of inguinal hernia repair, most commonly preoperative ureteral stent placement (40%). Three patients (50%) experienced inguinal ureteral hernia recurrence, of whom two underwent ureteral reimplantation. Based on our experience, the majority of inguinal ureteral hernias can be managed with a preoperative ureteral stent at the time of hernia repair, although more complex ureteral reconstruction may be required in the setting of recurrence.
