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

backgroundThe prevalence of Müllerian anomalies (MA) among patients with congenital solitary functioning kidney (SFK) is not well defined. A delay in diagnosis of obstructive MA can increase the risk of poor clinical outcomes. This study describes the prevalence of MA in patients with congenital SFK.

methodsA retrospective review was performed of patients within the Nationwide Children's Hospital system with ICD9 or ICD10 diagnostic codes for congenital SFK defined as either unilateral renal agenesis (URA) or multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) and confirmed by chart review. Patients with complex urogenital pathology were excluded. Renal anomaly, MA, reason for and type of pelvic evaluation, and age of diagnosis of anomalies were evaluated.

resultsCongenital SFK occurred in 431 girls due to URA (209) or MCDK (222). Pelvic evaluation, most commonly by ultrasound for evaluation of abdominal pain or dysmenorrhea, occurred in 115 patients leading to MA diagnosis in 60 instances. Among 221 patients ages 10 years and older, 104 underwent pelvic evaluation and 52 were diagnosed with an MA of which 20 were obstructive. Isolated uterine or combined uterine and vaginal anomalies were the most common MA. MA were five-fold more common in patients with URA compared to MCDK. In 75% of patients, the SFK was diagnosed prior to the MA.

conclusionsThe prevalence of MA in patients with congenital SFK was 24% among those age 10 years or older, and 38% were obstructive. This justifies routine screening pelvic ultrasound in girls with congenital SFK to improve early diagnosis.
