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

A 16-year-old man with horseshoe kidney presented with a right-sided forgotten double J stent (DJS), 1 year after bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy. X-ray of the kidney, ureter and bladder showed bilateral residual stones with no encrustations or stone formation on the DJS. Initial attempt of DJS removal using 22 French (Fr) cystoscope and 6/7.5 Fr semirigid ureteroscope failed due to resistance while pulling the DJS and inability to uncoil the upper end of DJS. Finally, percutaneous antegrade scopy was done suggestive of submucosal impaction of the forgotten DJS in upper ureter. The overlying mucosal bridge was cut using holmium: Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) laser and the DJS was retrieved. The index case highlights an unusual cause of entrapment of the DJS and whenever resistance is encountered, the use of force should be avoided and the cause of resistance should be troubleshooted, thereby preventing serious injuries like ureteral avulsion.
