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

Due to their large size, rapid growth, and attendant morbidity, staghorn calculi are complex clinical entities that impose significant treatment-related challenges. Moreover, their relative heterogeneity-in terms of both total stone burden and anatomic distribution-limits the ability to standardize their characterization and the reporting of surgical outcomes. Several morphometry systems currently exist to define the volumetric distribution of renal stones, in general, and to predict the outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy; however, they fall short in their applicability to staghorn stones. In this review, we aim to discuss the clinical utility of morphometry systems and the influence of pelvicalyceal anatomy on the management of these complex calculi.
