1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of super-mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SMP) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for children with upper urinary tract calculus (1-2 cm). PATIENTS AND

methodsChildren with upper urinary tract calculus (1-2 cm) who underwent the SMP or RIRS were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into two groups: group SMP, 36 patients; and group RIRS, 25 patients. Patients were evaluated with KUB radiography or CT after 1 month. The collected data were analyzed.

resultsThe mean stone size was 14.18 mm in group SMP, and 14.00 mm in group RIRS (p = 0.812). Group RIRS compared to group SMP showed longer operating time [76.3 vs 53.9 min (p = 0.002)], and postoperative hospital stay [4.2 vs 2.9 days (p = 0.011)]. The overall stone-free rate (SFR) was 94.4% for group SMP, and 60.0% for group RIRS in 1 month after operation (p = 0.001). The re-treatment rate was significantly higher in group RIRS compared to group SMP [20.0% vs 0.0% (p = 0.009)]. The complication rate was 5.6%, and 24.0% for groups SMP, and RIRS, respectively (p = 0.036).

conclusionsSMP was more effective than RIRS to obtain a better SFR, less re-treatment rate, and complication rate in children with upper urinary tract calculus (1-2 cm).
