Anatrophic nephrolithotomy and pyelolithotomy for dual staghorn calculi in bifid collecting system.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
A bifid ureter is an atypical anatomical variation that occurs with an incidence of 1-10%. This anomaly is in a continuum of duplex collecting systems and most commonly involves a common distal ureter. This is usually asymptomatic and is predominantly an incidental diagnosis, nevertheless, is a potential risk factor for urolithiasis formation. Current surgical management of larger staghorn calculi favours percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) over traditional open surgery, however for multiple calculi and complex anatomy PCNL would require multiple punctures, with increased risk of bleeding, pleural injury, sepsis and ultimately failed stone clearance. We describe the case of a 71-year-old female with multiple calculi in bifid anatomy. A single open approach, aided with cold-ischaemia was successfully utilized in this context.
