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

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is feasible in the extremely elderly patients. However, there were higher rate of complications and longer hospitalizations. The case presented is a 95-year-old female who was admitted to the hospital and was diagnosed with multiple stones in the right kidney and upper ureter with right renal effusion and infection, urosepsis, and chronic bronchitis. After sufficient preoperative preparation, small-tract PCNL under vacuum suctioning was performed using the left lateral position under combined lumbar spinal and epidural anesthesia. The patient recovered and was discharged smoothly on schedule. Good clinical and social effects have achieved.
