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

backgroundPercutaneous access to the renal pelvis still remains the most difficult step before nephrolitholapaxy (PCNL). New imaging techniques, such as 3D imaging and various navigation instruments such as electromagnetic, sonographic, CT-controlled and marker-based/iPAD try to simplify this step and reduce complications.

objectivesIn this review, various new techniques for puncturing the renal collecting system are presented and their advantages and disadvantages are evaluated. MATERIALS AND

methodsA systematic literature search was carried out in MEDLINE, whereby only puncture techniques that have already been evaluated in clinical studies were included.

resultsFive different navigation methods for puncturing the renal pelvis before PCNL were found.

conclusionIntraoperative navigation can be useful when puncturing the collecting system. The combination of ultrasound and fluoroscopy currently remains the gold standard. However, there is still a need for further, primarily clinical, prospective studies to determine which new imaging technology and navigation systems will prevail and thus facilitate the access route to the kidney, especially in the case of special anatomical conditions.
