Risk factors for hemorrhage requiring embolization after percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a meta-analysis.
Article in Translational andrology and urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundThe aim of this meta-analysis was to systematically review and identify the risk factors for severe hemorrhage after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
methodsWe searched the PubMed and EMBASE database for literature related to the risk factors of severe hemorrhage after PCNL requiring angiography and embolization through to September 2019. The necessary data for each eligible study were extracted by 2 independent reviewers. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used for assessing the methodological quality of the included studies. Statistical analyses were conducted using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 2 to identify whether there was a statistical association between risk factors and severe hemorrhage post-PCNL.
resultsThe results of this meta-analysis showed that urinary tract infection (UTI) (OR =1.98, 95% CI, 1.21-3.26, P=0.007), diabetes mellitus (OR =4.07, 95% CI, 1.83-9.06, P=0.001), staghorn stone (OR =3.49, 95% CI, 1.25-9.76, P=0.017), and multiple tracts (OR =2.09, 95% CI, 1.33-3.28, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for severe hemorrhage post-PCNL, while hypertension (OR =1.18, 95% CI, 0.58-2.42, P=0.65) showed no significant statistical difference.
conclusionsUrologists should focus on the above identified risk factors for severe hemorrhage post-PCNL, including UTI, diabetes mellitus, staghorn stone, and multiple tracts. More high-quality studies with larger sample sizes are needed to validate these conclusions.
