Randall's plaques, plugs and the clinical workup of the renal stone patient.
Review in Urolithiasis, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Renal stone patients are generally considered to be affected with the idiopathic form of calcium nephrolithiasis. It is debated whether a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation should be performed in first stone patients. There is a substantial number of first or mildly recurrent stone formers who do not undergo any work-up to investigate stone etiology and in whom stone etiology is unknown. In this setting, the endourological approach can provide the treating physician with diagnostic information based on the presence of Randall's plaques and/or ductal plugs, thus triggering the need for further clinical investigations.
