The use of Alken Metal Telescopic Dilator for 'X-ray-free' PCNL in neglected DJ stent patient: A case report.
Article in Urology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Neglected DJ stent is a challenging case, due to the procedures required, using fluoroscopy, as seen in ESWL, URS, and PCNL. This study presents the case of a 54 years old woman with pyelum and ureter stones, alongside neglected DJ stent for about a year. Treatment was started with cystoscopy, URS lithotripsy, which was continued with kidney puncture, and the subsequent dilatation with Alken Metal Telescopic Dilator. All steps were performed under the guidance of ultrasonography without fluoroscopy. The result showed a successful removal of DJ stent, which was achieved percutaneously, and no remaining stone was found.
