Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL): Techniques and outcomes.
Review in Turkish journal of urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) was introduced to decrease the morbidity of the standard PCNL (sPCNL). Thereafter, many modifications and techniques have been presented with the introduction of different miniaturized PCNL (mPCNL) techniques, such as micro-PCNL and ultra-mini-PCNL (UMP). As of present, none of the techniques has displaced the sPCNL. Nonetheless, mini-PCNL has continuously widening indications and has been proposed to have significant advantages over sPCNL. In the current review, each technique is presented while discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. A comprehensive review of the current literature has been performed. Articles related to the topic were retrieved and critically analyzed. Less peri-operative bleeding and shorter hospital stay were the most important advantages advocated for mini-PCNL. Although the performance of mini-PCNL is safe, the utilization of micro-PCNL and UMP should be done with caution.
