Non papillary mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy: early experience.
Article in World journal of urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeThis study aims to evaluate the non-papillary puncture for mini-PCNL in terms of safety and efficacy.
methodsA total number of 32 patients were subjected to mini-PCNL by the performance of non-papillary punctures over 6 months. One-step track dilation to 22 Fr took place in all cases. An 18 Fr nephroscope (Slender, Karl Storz GmbH, Germany) and an ultrasound lithotripter (Lithoclast Master, EMS S.A, Switzerland) with 9.9 Fr probe was used. Demographics and perioperative data are prospectively collected from an institutional board-approved database and the presented data were retrospectively collected.
resultsThe average cumulative stone size was 23.53 ± 6.6 mm. Mean operative time was 44.6 ± 13.44 min and primary stone-free rate after PCNL was 96% and 85.7% for single and multiple access, respectively. Second access was performed in seven cases, all of which had multiple stones. Mean hemoglobin drop was 1.23 ± 0.88 gr/dL. The patients stayed 2.56 ± 0.98 days in the hospital. Overall complication rate was 9.37%, without encountering any severe bleeding complication.
conclusionUsing non-papillary access for mini-PCNL did not result in significant blood loss and need for transfusions. The respective data were directly comparable to contemporary literature and the safety of mini-PCNL by a non-papillary approach could be advocated.
