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

Staghorn calculi account for about 4% of presenting renal stones in developed countries, are source of recurrent urinary tract infection, and may be eventually treated by surgical stone removal. A 55-year-old female with a history of staghorn renal calculi and recurrent urinary tract infections presented with a left flank and lower abdominal pain following recent left robotic partial nephrectomy and nephrolithotomy. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen demonstrated a large left-sided retroperitoneal fluid collection with a few dropped renal stones in the dependent portion of the collection. The patient treated with early percutaneous drainage of the collection and antibiotic treatment and responded well clinically. The clinical and imaging presentation of a rare case of retroperitoneal abscess formation caused by dropped renal stones is described in this study. Imaging, particularly ultrasound and CT, plays a key role in detecting the dropped renal stones and can help with differential diagnosis and treatment plans.
