Retrograde vacuum-assisted MiniPCNL system for large distal ureteric calculus removal: A case report.
Article in Urology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Large ureteral calculi are commonly associated with severe colic pain, complex urinary tract infections, severe hematuria, hydronephrosis, and renal deterioration, often requiring immediate surgical intervention. Ureteroscopy is a favored treatment due to its higher stone-free rates; however, it encounters difficulties in cases of a high burden of distal ureteral stones. We present a case where a patient with a significant ureteral calculus was effectively treated with a vacuum-assisted mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy system in retrograde approach. This intervention enabled the complete removal of the stone, leading to the patient's full recovery without complications.
