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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficiency of multiple-tract percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) as a day surgery for the treatment of complex renal stones. PATIENTS AND 

methodsA mature protocol for day surgery was implemented. Forty-six patients who underwent planned day-surgery PCNL via multiple tracts for the treatment of complex renal stones were retrospectively reviewed. All procedures were performed by an experienced surgeon. The outcomes were recorded.

resultsThe mean stone size and burden were 4.8 cm and 990.2 mm

conclusionsDay-surgery PCNL can be safely performed via multiple percutaneous tracts by experienced surgeons and is an efficient strategy for the treatment of complex renal stones.
