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

Spontaneous passage of large ureteric calculi over 10mm is uncommon. We present a case of a 69-year-old male with a significant prostatic enlargement (150 cc) and a 13mm ureteric calculus which had not passed for 3 months following a failed attempt at ureteroscopy. His stone passed spontaneously following prostatic artery embolisation (PAE), performed for symptomatic benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). We consider the mechanisms by which PAE may impact on the distal ureter which allowed stone passage.
