1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Iatrogenic ureteral injuries occur during surgical procedures in various medical disciplines. Medical and legal aspects of assessing possible treatment errors are presented. Intraoperative ureteral injuries should be treated immediately. Secondary ureteral complications are splinted until definitive reconstruction, or the upper urinary tract is drained via percutaneous nephrostomy. Definitive surgical ureter reconstruction depends on the length, height, and local blood supply of the affected ureter segment. Today, ureter reconstructions can usually be performed using minimally invasive robot-assisted techniques.
