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

Background: Ureteral avulsion is a rare but serious complication of ureteroscopic lithotomy. As a common treatment for long segment ureteral avulsion, ileal ureteral replacement has many complications, such as anastomotic site stricture and retrograde infection, and prolonged exposure of the intestinal mucosa to urine may result in postoperative metabolic acidosis. Autologous tissue is becoming increasingly popular in ureteroplasty, including oral mucosa, appendix and bladder. Recent advancements in ureteral reconstruction techniques have highlighted the utility of the appendix and bladder, but the length of autologous tissue is limited. In order to reduce complications and save autologous tissue, we propose a novel combined technique. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of appendiceal onlay flap ureteroplasty combined with Boari flap-psoas hitch ureteroneocystostomy in the treatment of long segment ureteral avulsion, with a 15-month follow-up. Case Description: We report a 64-year-old male patient diagnosed with right ureteral avulsion. In this case, the ureteral reconstruction was accomplished through our new technique. Antegrade urography revealed no obstruction of the reconstructed ureteral segment at 7 weeks after surgery. After a 15-month follow-up period, no postoperative complications occurred, radiological resolution of hydronephrosis and improved renal function were observed. Conclusions: Our initial experience demonstrated that appendiceal onlay flap ureteroplasty combined with Boari flap-psoas hitch ureteroneocystostomy is safe and feasible. This novel surgical method provides a promising option for treating long segment ureteral avulsion.
