Thulium laser to intraurethral Gordian Knot: A novel technique.
Article in Urology 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
Self-inserted urethral foreign bodies are an unusual albeit well documented phenomena and cause of hospital presentation. When conservative non-operative managements fail, operative management is imperative to prevent further complications including infection, stones, diverticula, and fistula formation. Minimally invasive alternatives should be considered when cystoscopic access to the foreign body is mechanically difficult. Through this case presentation, we showcase a novel technique to consider when dealing with intraurethral foreign bodies - the use of thulium laser with rigid ureteroscope. We believe this to be the first documented case of successful intraurethral foreign body fragmentation using thulium laser.
