Combination of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty for lower moiety ureteropelvic junction obstruction in a partial duplex system and percutaneous endoscopic surgery for renal calculi reusing the port for robotic pyeloplasty.

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
Introduction: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction is often associated with renal calculus formation. However, there is no report of using robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty combined with percutaneous endoscopic surgery for ureteropelvic junction obstruction and renal calculi in a partial duplex system. Case presentation: A 19-year-old female patient with lower moiety ureteropelvic junction obstruction and renal calculi in a partial duplex system was referred to our hospital because of left lumbar pain, left acute pyelonephritis, and an increase in left renal calculi during follow-up at the referral hospital. To prevent the complication of percutaneous nephrolithotripsy following pyeloplasty, robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty combined with percutaneous endoscopic surgery was performed. Two years after surgery, the patient reported no left lumbar pain. Conclusion: The combination of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty and percutaneous endoscopic surgery can be proposed as a safe and less-invasive treatment option for ureteropelvic junction obstruction and renal calculi in a partial duplex system.
