Neglected case of recurrent abdominal pain due to a chronically retained and broken double J (DJ) stent following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL): A case report.

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
Double J (DJ stent) is commonly used in urology practices. Short- and long-term complications of indwelling catheters are increasingly noted resulting in significant morbidity and at times mortality. Retained and broken DJ stent is however rare complication with few cases reported in the literature. We present a case of neglected retained and broken DJ stent in a 55-year-old male who had undergone percutaneous lithotripsy (PCNL) 4 years back presenting with recurrent abdominal pain and was misdiagnosed as peptic ulcer disease at various centers. Radiological investigations including ultrasound, radiographs, and computer tomography helped in identifying the retained and broken DJ stent. Patient improved with conservative management and left against medical advice for definite treatment. Patient education and ensuring proper follow-up can reduce the likelihood of complications associated with DJ stents.
