Uretero-Iliac Artery Fistula: Intraoperative Diagnosis of a Rare but Fatal Cause of Hematuria.

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
Uretero-iliac artery fistula (UIAF) is a rare but often fatal type of fistula. We present the case of a 58-year-old woman who presented with recurrent hematuria. During her admission, she underwent a routine ureteric stent exchange. During the procedure, she developed sudden hemorrhagic shock during guidewire insertion, and a diagnosis of UIAF was suspected. The patient required resuscitation and urgent right common iliac artery stent placement by interventional radiology (IR) following discussion between vascular surgeons and the IR team. She was admitted to the intensive therapy unit following the IR intervention, where she recovered well without complications. She was discharged home three days later with outpatient vascular and urology follow-up. UIAF is a rare but important differential diagnosis of hematuria. A high index of clinical suspicion is important to facilitate its diagnosis. Eliciting the patient's past medical history and risk factors is of paramount importance in raising suspicion for UIAF.
