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

We report a case of a 31-year-old patient with obstructive ureterolithiasis in a transplanted kidney, treated endoscopically with flexible ureterorenoscopy and laser lithotripsy. The patient presented with biochemical signs of acute renal failure and ultrasonographically detected hydronephrosis. Emergency nonenhanced computed tomography scan revealed an obstructive 5-mm stone in the ureter of the transplanted kidney with resulting hydronephrosis. The patient received a double J stent to relieve allograft obstruction. Since the stone size was deemed favorable for conservative treatment, the patient was discharged. Two months later, he was readmitted for leucopenia caused by mycophenolate mofetil. After recuperation of his white blood cell count, he was referred to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, but since the stone was radiolucent, an endoscopic procedure was indicated. Retrograde endoscopic flexible ureterorenoscopy with 'dusting' of the stone was successfully performed. One year after the procedure, the patient was stone free and with good allograft function.
