Endourological management of encrusted ureteral stents: an up-to-date guide and treatment algorithm on behalf of the European Association of Urology Young Academic Urology Urolithiasis Group.
Review in Central European journal of urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Encrustation of ureteral stents can represent a complex challenge. Patients can require multiple intervention types as well as several operative sessions. Our aim was to establish a practical guide for managing such cases as well as an accompanying treatment algorithm. Nearly all cases can now be successfully managed with minimally invasive methods such as ureteroscopy and/or percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Use of a validated tool for grading burden of encrustation is recommended. Careful patient counselling as well as operative planning are of paramount importance. Identifying high risk patient groups such as pregnancy and implementing prevention strategies are also crucial.
