Treatment of giant prostatic urethral stone with prostatolithotomy case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2024. 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
introductionThe patient with prostatic urethral stones of the size mentioned in the case report is very rare, and there is no standard surgical procedure for patients with giant stones in the prostatic urethra. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 62-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with complaints of dysuria and hematuria. Computed tomography showed a prostatic urethral stone measuring 78x48x56 mm. Open prostatolithotomy was performed by extending the bladder incision towards the prostate capsule and the stone was removed. DISCUSSION: Prostate stones can be classified into two types: true prostate stones, which form within the prostate's tissues, and urethral stones, which develop in the prostatic urethra. Urethral stones can be primary (forming in the urethra) or secondary (migrating from the upper urinary tract).
conclusionTreatment options vary based on stone size and patient history, with endoscopy recommended as the primary approach. However, in cases with large stone burdens, open surgical methods may be preferred.
