Metabolic evaluation and medical management of staghorn calculi.
Review in Asian journal of urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Staghorn renal calculi are large renal calculi that occupy nearly the entirety of the renal collecting system. They may be composed of metabolic or infection stone types. They are often associated with specific metabolic defects. Infection stones are associated with urease-producing bacterial urinary tract infections. The ideal treatment for staghorn calculi is maximal surgical removal. However, some patients are either unwilling or unable to proceed with that modality of treatment, and therefore other management must be used. One such technique is the metabolic evaluation with directed medical management. Based on contemporary evidence that the majority of staghorn stones are metabolic in etiology, and furthermore that even infection stones are usually associated with metabolic abnormalities, metabolic evaluation with directed medical management is recommended for all staghorn stone formers. The scientific basis of this recommendation is reviewed in the present work.
