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

Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) has been described as a safe and effective technique to eliminate stones in patients in whom a less-invasive approach is desired. It was originally developed to treat stones in the pediatric population, but has since been adapted to serve a role in the adult urologic community. This approach has been reported to result in less blood loss and postoperative pain when compared with traditional PCNL. Herein, we present a case in which a recurrent caliceal diverticulum containing stones was managed using a mini-PCNL technique in a patient who previously failed multiple other retrograde endoscopic approaches.
