Minituriazed percutaneous nephrolithotomy: what does it mean?
Review in Urolithiasis, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
A lot of interest has been recently attracted to miniaturized Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Smaller diameter tracts and instruments, in comparison to standard PCNL are utilized to decrease the morbidity of PCNL. However, a debate is ongoing regarding the safety and efficacy of these methods. The growing enthusiasm toward miniaturized PCNL led to different techniques and instruments, and eventually generated confusion in the terminology of PCNL. In this review, we highlight the different modalities of miniaturized PCNL, their indication, their safety and efficacy, and the appropriate terminology is suggested. A comprehensive review of current literature was performed using PubMed(®). Publications relevant to the subject were retrieved and critically appraised. Miniaturized PCNL was introduced with the desire to reduce access-related complications and bleeding. Miniaturized PCNL has yet to prove clear advantage over the standard PCNL. Nevertheless, the current experience proves the safety of the miniaturized techniques. Advantages of the miniaturized PCNL suggested in the literature are the lower bleeding rate and decreased hospital stay. In addition, the miniaturized PCNL has been proven a safe and effective modality of renal stone treatment in pediatric population.
