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

Introduction: We present a unique case of MURCs (Mullerian duct, Renal and Cervico-thoracic somite dysplasia) association with an ectopic ureter in a paediatric patient. Case summary: A 9-year-old female presented with urinary incontinence secondary to an ectopic ureter. Further imaging lead to the diagnosis of MURCs association. The patient was successfully treated with a laparoscopic right nephro-uretectomy. Ongoing management will be required for her orthopaedic and gynaecological anomalies. Conclusion: MURCs association is a rare constellation of congenital anomalies, usually only detected late in adolescence. It requires multi-disciplinary specialist care. Complex renal tract anomalies may be encountered that warrant surgical intervention.
