Review in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The classic "infection stone" struvite is formed as a result of metabolic activity of urease-positive bacteria from alkaline urine with pH-values above 7.5. Due to improved infection diagnostics and antibiotic therapy, the occurrence of infection-related urinary stones in the western industrialized world decreases, despite the generally increasing prevalence rates of urolithiasis in these societies. Struvite is often associated with other mineral phases. These accessory mineral phases could indicate other, non-infection-related causes of urinary stone formation. Thus, mineral analysis is always recommended. Struvite stones as well as struvite encrustations on urinary tract implants are characterized by rapid growth. The rapid growth-related embedding of urease-positive bacteria in the crystalline material makes the urinary stone a persistent source of recurrent urinary tract infections. According to the German Society of Urology guidelines on urolithiasis, a patient with the diagnosis "infection stone" should be assigned to the "high-risk" patient group. Complete stone and debris removal, as well as a special metaphylaxis strategy are required to initiate successful stone therapy.
