Renal Function and Quality of Life after the Mitrofanoff Procedure.
Article in Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons. 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
Introduction: Bladder dysfunction in children can result in recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), incontinence, and progressive renal impairment. The Mitrofanoff procedure (MP) facilitates clean intermittent catheterization (CIC), promoting effective bladder emptying and reducing the risk of renal deterioration. However, data on long-term outcomes of this procedure remain limited in developing countries. This study was undertaken to address this gap and evaluate renal function and quality of life (QOL) following the MP in this population. Aims: To describe mid to long term renal function and QOL in children after MP and to analyze risk factors that influence these outcomes. Methodology: A retrospective longitudinal cohort study was conducted on children who underwent the MP between 2008 and 2023 with at least 6 months of follow-up. Renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate, chronic kidney disease staging), QOL (Pediatric Incontinence Questionnaire scores), continence status, and CIC compliance were evaluated. Factors influencing renal outcomes were analyzed. Results: Sixty-two children were included (mean age 7.5 years; mean follow-up 3.2 years). Renal function remained stable or improved in 48 (77.4%) and deteriorated in 14. Recurrent UTIs resolved in 35 of 45 affected children. CIC compliance was observed in 48 (77.4%) and was strongly associated with better renal outcomes. Social continence was achieved in 60 children, and QOL improved in 58 (93.5%). Conclusion: The MP, combined with consistent CIC, effectively preserves renal function and enhances QOL in children with bladder dysfunction. Noncompliance with CIC and recurrent UTIs remain key risk factors for renal deterioration.
