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
introduction and importanceSeveral endoscopic procedures have been performed to clear stones in the kidney. A potential technique called endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS) is a practical option for treating complex kidney stones. Hereby, we report a neglected double j (DJ) stent and recurrent multiple kidney stones treated by ECIRS. CASE PRESENTATION: A 56-year-old female complained of right flank pain one week ago, which worsened within one day before hospital admission. She underwent DJ stent insertion one year ago because of residual stones after right percutaneous nephrolitothomy (PCNL) but was lost to follow-up. There was a history of left nephrectomy, leaving the patient with only a right kidney. A x-ray kidney ureter bladder (KUB) evaluation showed multiple irregular radiopaque shadows. A computed tomography (CT) scan detected numerous stones in the right kidney. The patient underwent ECIRS to remove the DJ stent and clear multiple stones in the right kidney. Following the surgery, the patient was discharged from the hospital on the fourth postoperative day with no complications and residual stone. CLINICAL DISCUSSIONS: ECIRS is a technique that combines a simultaneous antero-retrograde approach to the kidney and aims to resolve nephrolithiasis in one step and with one access. The ECIRS procedure could be considered in cases of complex multiple stone nephrolithiasis. ECIRS could widen the operative vision, thus helping to clear difficult kidney stones.
conclusionsThe ECIRS technique could provide successful and safe management of recurrent multiple kidney stones and encrusted, neglected DJ stents in a solitary kidney patient.
