Retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty with simultaneous pyelolithotomy using a flexible cystoscope: Our initial experience at a single centre.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: We present our experience with retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty with simultaneous pyelolithotomy using a flexible cystoscope in patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction(UPJO) complicated with kidney stones. Materials and Methods: The records of 37 patients who underwent retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty with simultaneous pyelolithotomy using a flexible cystoscope to manage UPJO complicated with kidney stones from July 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent one-stage retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty combined with flexible cystoscopic pyelolithotomy. The operative time, blood volume, stone clearance rate, length of hospital stay, complications and follow-up events were recorded. Results: The operation went smoothly in all 37 patients. The mean operative time was 148.4 ± 24.2 min. The mean intraoperative blood loss volume was 54.3 ± 20.5 ml. The mean hospitalization time was 10.6 ± 3.7 days. The stone clearance rate was 81.08%. The mean follow-up period was 23.5 months (range 12-53 months). Hydronephrosis was significantly decreased in 33 of the 37 cases. The success rate of the operation was 89.19%. Stones recurred in 9 patients during follow-up, for a recurrence rate of 24.32%. Conclusion: Retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty with simultaneous pyelolithotomy using a flexible cystoscope in patients with UPJO complicated with kidney stones is safe, effective and worthy of promotion.
