Percutaneous puncture during PCNL: new perspective for the future with virtual imaging guidance.
Review in World journal of urology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
contextLarge and complex renal stones are usually treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). One of the crucial steps in this procedure is the access to the collecting system with the percutaneous puncture and this maneuver leads to a risk of vascular and neighboring organs' injury. In the last years, the application of virtual image-guided surgery has gained wide diffusion even in this specific field.
objectivesTo provide a short overview of the most recent evidence on current applications of virtual imaging guidance for PCNL. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: A non-systematic review of the literature was performed. Medline, PubMed, the Cochrane Database and Embase were screened for studies regarding the use virtual imaging guidance for PCNL. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: 3D virtual navigation technology for PCNL was first used in urology with the purpose of surgical training and surgical planning; subsequently, the field of surgical navigation with different modalities (from cognitive to augmented reality or mixed reality) had been explored. Finally, anecdotal preliminary experiences explored the potential application of artificial intelligence guidance for percutaneous puncture.
conclusionNowadays, many experiences proved the potential benefit of virtual guidance for surgical simulation and training. Focusing on surgery, this tool revealed to be useful both for surgical planning, allowed to achieve a better surgical performance, and for surgical navigation by using augmented reality and mixed reality systems aimed to assist the surgeon in real time during the intervention.
