1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Horseshoe kidney is the most prevalent congenital kidney fusion anomaly, affecting 0.25% of the general population and occurring in 1 in 400-1600 births. Approximately 40 percent of patients develop kidney stones due to anomalies. In our case, we aimed to perform combined laparoscopic pyelolithotomy with retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) instead of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) in a patient with a horseshoe anomaly. This procedure enabled us to detect the location of the mobile stone with RIRS and then successfully extract it with laparoscopic pyelolithotomy. Laparoscopic pyelolithotomy combined with RIRS is a reasonable additional treatment option for complicated stone surgery due to horseshoe kidney anomalies.
