1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In urological practice, the routine procedure of placing a double J stent aims to facilitate drainage of the upper urinary system. Despite its temporary nature and the necessity for timely removal, approximately 12% of these stents are retained in patients for extended durations due to various reasons. Forgotten ureteral stents can lead to complications that increase the morbidity and mortality of patients. This report discusses a case of the double J stent that became calcified due to prolonged use and needed to be removed in a combined procedure.
