Open pyelolithotomy in an ectopic kidney: A case report.
Article in Urology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Renal ectopia with stone is a rare case with no specific reported incidence rate. The treatment of kidney stone in ectopic kidneys poses a challenge to urologists. A 48-year-old male presenting with colicky pain on the right flank since one year ago. CT urography revealed an right-crossed renal ectopia and hyperdense lesions (25 × 20 mm and 10 × 10 mm) in the ureteropelvic junction of the right kidney. Under general anesthesia, we performed open pyelolithotomy for the patient and removed two stones completely. Open surgery could be the choice for patients with complex stone burden and associated renal anomalies such as ectopic kidney.
