Delayed Bleeding After Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery: A Rare Complication in Ectopic Pelvic Kidney.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Anatomical variations in the pelvic ectopic kidney (PEK) present many challenges to stone treatment. Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) has emerged as the treatment of choice for small to medium stones. We present a case of delayed hemorrhage due to an arteriocaliceal fistula. A 57-year-old man with a 12 mm middle calyx stone was subjected to uneventful RIRS, despite a high grade of scope deflection. Recovery was unremarkable until 37 days after surgery when the patient started recurrent hematuria and clot retention. Renal angiography revealed a bleeding vessel from an arteriocaliceal fistula. Superselective arterial embolization was successfully performed. Anomalous collecting system and vasculature can increase the risk of complications in PEKs. Massive bleeding from unusual arterial blood supply was effectively treated by angioembolization.
