Effectiveness and complications of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy in children: one center experience with 232 kidney units.
Article in Turkish journal of urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and complications of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) surgery using 14-20 Fr access sheaths in pediatric patients, as well as the results of postoperative stone analysis and metabolic urine analysis. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated the records of 206 pediatric patients (232 kidney units) who underwent mini-PCNL for kidney stones in our clinic between February 2011 and December 2018. We evaluated the demographic characteristics, complications, stone-free rates, and the results of chemical analysis and urinary metabolic analysis.
resultsThe age ranged from 9 months to 16 years. The mean age was 5.1±3.9 years, and the median age was 3.5 years. The median stone burden was 200 mm
conclusionMini-PCNL is a safe and effective procedure with reasonable complications for the treatment of pediatric kidney stones. All kinds of multidisciplinary efforts are required to remove kidney stones completely in pediatric patients.
