The ureteroscope-assisted "Mini-Perc" technique of placement of peritoneal dialysis catheters with a 16-Fr Peel-Away sheath: 3-year results in 47 patients.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2013. 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
objectivesThis study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical feasibility, safety and effect of the ureteroscope-assisted "Mini-Perc" technique with a 16-Fr Peel-Away sheath for insertion of peritoneal dialysis catheters in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. PATIENTS AND
methods47 consecutive ESRD patients underwent ureteroscope-assisted placement of peritoneal dialysis catheters via a 16-Fr Peel-Away sheath. Informed consent form was signed by patients under principle of voluntary.
resultsThe mean duration of the operation was 40 min (range, 21-75 min). Seven patients (14.9 %) experienced mechanical complications: catheter tip migration in 1 patient (2.1 %), slightly bloody ascites in 4 patients (8.5 %) and catheter-related peritonitis in 2 patients (4.3 %). Two catheters (4.3 %) were removed after renal transplantation. One patient (2.1 %) died from heart failure. One catheter (2.1 %) was explanted because of malfunction. After a mean follow-up time of 15 months (range, 2-36 months), 42 catheters are still functioning properly.
conclusionsThe ureteroscope-assisted "Mini-Perc" technique with a 16-Fr Peel-Away sheath is a simple, safe and effective method for placement of peritoneal dialysis catheters in ESRD patients.
