Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Autotransplantation of the Left Kidney for Extended Iatrogenic Ureteral Injury.
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
Iatrogenic ureteral injury is a rare but serious complication of lower abdominal surgery. In cases of extensive damage, conventional reconstruction may be unfeasible. Autologous kidney transplantation can preserve renal function in selected patients. A 57-year-old patient developed a long-segment left ureteral injury following laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy. A nephrostomy had been in place for over one year and was complicated by recurrent infections with progressive deterioration of kidney function. Due to the extent of the injury, direct reconstruction was not possible. Autologous kidney transplantation to the left iliac fossa with ureterocystostomy was performed using a robotic-assisted laparoscopic approach. Both nephrectomy and autotransplantation were completed without intra- or postoperative complications, and long-term kidney function remained stable. Autologous kidney transplantation is an effective option for complex ureteral injuries when conventional reconstruction is not feasible. Robotic assistance allows a safe minimally invasive approach with favorable functional outcomes.
