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

purposeTo analyze and share our experience with ultra-mini-PCNL using the urological Dyna-CT in small infants.

methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on all infants younger than 3 years of age who underwent ultra-mini-PCNL at our institution since 2016. Operating time, fluoroscopy time, dose area product (DAP), stone-free status, intra- and postoperative complications and the duration of hospital stay were analyzed.

resultsA total of nine interventions conducted on eight children were evaluated. The mean age of infants was 22.8 ± 11.9 months. The mean operation time and the mean fluoroscopy time were 119.2 ± 51.8 min, and 190.4 ± 93.8 s, respectively. The mean DAP was 11.4 ± 6.9 μGym

conclusionUltra-mini-PCNL utilizing the urological Dyna-CT can safely and effectively be performed in small infants with kidney stones. In this setting, the urological Dyna-CT allows for a very low radiation exposure.
