Management of Kidney Stone Disease in Pregnancy: A Practical and Evidence-Based Approach.
Review in Current urology reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purpose of reviewSuspected kidney stone disease during pregnancy is a difficult condition for health professionals to manage. This is partly due to the more limited range of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, which can be safely applied. A comprehensive review of literature was performed to identify evidence to develop a practical guide to aid clinicians. RECENT
findingsUltrasound remains the recommended first line option for imaging. Complicated cases, such as suspected infected obstructed system, require urgent decompression such as in the form of percutaneous nephrostomy. This article highlights the pharmacotherapeutic agents, which are considered safe for use in pregnancy. Where surgical intervention is indicated, evidence supports ureteroscopy to be a safe option as long as infection has been treated. Ureteroscopy can offer definitive clearance of the stone(s) and can be less burdensome regarding bothersome symptoms compared to indwelling ureteral stent or nephrostomy, which also require regular exchange due to the high propensity for encrustation in pregnancy. A multidisciplinary approach is fundamental to safely manage suspected kidney stone disease in pregnancy. Adoption of a locally agreed pathway as suggested in this article supports improved patient care.
