Medical management of urolithiasis: Great efforts and limited progress.
Review in Asian journal of urology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06722703 (ESWL vs Flexible Uretroscopy in Management of Upper Ureteric Stones a Prospective Randomized Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 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.

Abstract
Objective: To provide a comprehensive review on the existing literature on medical management of urolithiasis. Methods: A thorough literature review was performed using Medline, PubMed/PMC, Embase, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews up to December 2022 to identify publications on the medical management of urolithiasis. Studies that assessed dietary and pharmacologic management of urolithiasis were reviewed; studies on medical expulsive therapy were not included in this review. Results: Medical management of urolithiasis ranges from the prophylactic management of kidney stone disease to dissolution therapies. While most treatment concepts have been long established, large randomized controlled trials are scarce. Dietary modification and increased fluid intake remain cornerstones in the conservative management of urolithiasis. A major limitation for medical management of urolithiasis is poor patient compliance. Conclusion: Medical management of urolithiasis is more important in patients with recurrent urolithiasis and patients with metabolic abnormalities putting them at higher risk of developing stones. Although medical management can be effective in limiting stone recurrence, medical interventions often fail due to poor compliance.
