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

purpose of reviewWe aim to highlight recent advances in technology and techniques for surgical management of urinary tract calculi in pediatric patients. RECENT

findingsPercutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is classically performed in the prone position. The supine PCNL was first attempted to overcome the shortcomings of difficult airway access, patient and surgeon discomfort. The supine PCNL, and subsequent modifications, has been successfully described in the pediatric population. Classically, PCNL has also been classically concluded with obligate placement of a nephrostomy tube and bladder catheter. Recently, tubeless and totally tubeless PCNL reduces pain and duration of hospitalization with satisfactory surgical outcomes in children. Finally, we describe the use of thulium laser technology, which offers improved efficacy in stone treatment and may supplant the current dominant technologies in coming years. Recent advances in pediatric stone surgery include supine PCNL, miniaturized PCNL instrumentation, tubeless procedures, and thulium laser technology.
