A preliminary study: the role of preoperative procalcitonin in predicting postoperative fever after mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patients with a negative baseline urine culture.
Article in Urolithiasis, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
To evaluate the role of preoperative procalcitonin (PCT) levels in predicting postoperative fever after mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) in patients with a negative baseline urine culture. Between January 2014 and October 2017, 329 patients with a negative baseline urine culture and who underwent mini-PCNL were enrolled in this study. Patients were stratified into the control or febrile group based on a body temperature either less than or greater than 38 °C, respectively. Demographic and perioperative data were compared between the groups, and variables found to be statistically significant were included in a binary logistic regression analysis. A total of 68 (20.6%) patients experienced postoperative fever. The univariate analysis revealed a statistically significant difference between groups in preoperative fever (p = 0.032), stone burden (p < 0.001), C-reactive protein (p = 0.011), PCT (p < 0.001) and interleukin-6 (p = 0.035) levels. Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that stone burden > 353 mm
