Large Ureterocele Associated With a Duplex Collecting System in an Infant: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Ureteroceles, especially large or ectopic ones in duplex systems, present significant management challenges in neonates due to the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and potential for renal scarring. We present the case of a neonate diagnosed prenatally with a large ureterocele with associated duplex system and hydronephrosis. Postnatal management followed a conservative initial approach with continuous antibiotic prophylaxis (CAP) using amoxicillin, in alignment with the AAP guidelines. The patient remained asymptomatic while awaiting definitive surgical intervention. This case highlights the efficacy of standardized urinary tract dilation (UTD) grading and the role of CAP in preventing febrile UTIs while bridging patients toward surgical decompression. However, the efficacy of CAP cannot be generalized from this case report.
