Quantitative assessment of postoperative urinary jet dynamics after unilateral ureteral stricture reconstruction using non-contrast cine MR urography.

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
purposeTo evaluate non-contrast cine magnetic resonance urography (MRU) for quantifying postoperative urinary jet dynamics in unilateral ureteral stricture disease (USD) and explore their relevance to ureteral functional recovery.
methodsThis prospective single-center study included 53 patients examined within 1 week before and 3 months after surgery. Five 60-s cine acquisitions were obtained per examination. Two radiologists assessed image quality and measured urinary jet frequency and injection duration. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) assessed interobserver agreement. Jet parameters were compared between affected and contralateral ureters before and after surgery, and their correlations were analyzed.
resultsImage quality and quantitative measurements showed excellent interobserver agreement (ICC = 0.895 and 0.910, respectively; both P < 0.001). Jet frequency and injection duration were lower in the affected than contralateral ureter before and after surgery (all P < 0.001) and increased in the affected ureter postoperatively (both P < 0.001). Contralateral jet frequency decreased modestly (P = 0.007), whereas injection duration did not change (P = 0.443). Frequency and duration were positively correlated under all conditions, most strongly in the preoperative affected ureter (r = 0.974, P < 0.001).
conclusionNon-contrast cine MRU enabled quantitative assessment of postoperative urinary jet changes. Increased affected-side jet activity was consistent with improved ureteral urine transport and may provide indirect, complementary functional information during follow-up. Urinary jet parameters should not be considered standalone measures of complete recovery of ureteral function, and cine MRU should not replace CTU for anatomical evaluation.
