Ileal ureteral replacement for tuberculous ureteral strictures: 11 cases of experience.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 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
purposeTo evaluate the feasibility and safety of ileal ureteral replacement (IUR) for long-segment ureteral strictures secondary to urogenital tuberculosis (UGTB).
method11 patients with complex tuberculous ureteral strictures underwent IUR across three tertiary centers between March 2015 and January 2024. Surgical approaches included open (n = 2), laparoscopic (n = 4), and robotic-assisted (n = 5). Demographic characteristics, perioperative data and follow-up outcomes were prospectively collected.
result11 patients (8 males, 3 females) with a mean age of 38.3 ± 13.1 years were included. Two patients had bilateral involvement, and nine patients had unilateral involvement. Four patients underwent concomitant ileocystoplasty. The mean stricture length was 19.0 ± 6.3 cm, and the median length of ileum harvested was 25 cm. The mean operative time was 283.9 ± 28.1 min. The median estimated blood loss was 150 mL. The median postoperative hospital stay was 15 days, with the robotic approach significantly reducing hospitalization time (p = 0.015). During the median follow-up of 36 months, all patients achieved ureteral patency. The mean preoperative and latest estimated glomerular filtration rate were 82.0 ± 24.1 and 74.7 ± 22.9 mL/min/1.73 m
conclusionIUR is a safe and effective last resort for patients with complex ureteral strictures secondary to UGTB. High complication rates and long-term metabolic risks limit its application, necessitating strict patient selection and rigorous lifelong management.
