Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract in Nigeria: a thirteen-year single centre review.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundCongenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) encompass a wide spectrum of structural anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract. Evidence from registries in high-income countries suggests that it is a major cause of morbidity in children, with up to 50%-60% of chronic kidney disease (CKD) resulting from CAKUT. The picture is not so clear in medium and low-income countries, mainly due to lack or nonexistence of reliable registries, constraints of skilled personnel, diagnostic capacities, accurate data gathering and poor health-seeking behaviour.
methodsInformation on children managed from birth to 18 years with CAKUT, from January 2010 to end of December 2022 in the renal unit of the paediatric department, Jos University Teaching Hospital was extracted for review from the general paediatric renal database.
resultsOne hundred and one children had CAKUT, representing (14.87%) of all children seen in the renal unit during the period. The prevalence of CAKUT among the general paediatric population during the same period was 0.53%. The mean age at diagnosis was 6.35 ± 5.53 years (76 months). There was male preponderance, n = 72(71.29%). The most common kidney anomaly was cystic kidney, n = 17(16.83%), while the most common urologic anomaly was pelvi ureteric junction obstruction (PUJo) n = 26 (25.74%). Recurrent fever and abdominal pain were the commonest symptoms in older children. The antenatal detection rate was very low, only nine (8.9%).
conclusionPelvi ureteric junction obstruction was the commonest single anomaly. Antenatal ultrasound detection rate was very low and recurrent fever and abdominal pain were the most frequent symptoms in older children.
