Risk factors for the fever after percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a retrospective 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 9 papers.
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
backgroundIt's very common to see the onset of fever after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), it's necessary to analyze the risk factors for the fever following PCNL, and to provide evidence for infection prevention after PCNL.
methodsA total of 546 adult PCNL patients were included as study subjects and retrospective studies were performed. We collected clinical data of patients using a prospectively designed database. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the potential risk factors for the fever after PCNL.
resultsOf the included 546 PCNL patients, there were 82 fever patients and 464 no-fever patients following PCNL. Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis are the two most common infectious bacteria. Preoperative urinary tract infection (OR =4.38, 95% CI: 1.15-9.53), multiple access (OR =5.31, 95% CI: 1.23-10.75), diabetes (OR =4.97, 95% CI: 1.37-9.86), length of operation ≥60 min (OR =5.67, 95% CI: 2.24-13.42), estimated blood loss in PCNL ≥500 mL (OR=2.78, 95% CI: 2.32-3.61) were the independent risk factors associated with postoperative infection.
conclusionsEffective control of urinary tract infection, reduction of access number, strict control of blood glucose, length of operation control, reduction of intraoperative bleeding should be considered as measures to prevent postoperative fever for patients with PCNL.
