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

backgroundWe present a case involving a pregnant woman who needed transurethral lithotripsy for ureteral stent removal because of the stent encrustation. CLINICAL CASE: A 34-year-old woman was diagnosed with calculous pyelonephritis, and a double-loop ureteral stent was placed in her right ureter, after which the pyelonephritis resolved. One week after her delivery, we attempted to remove the ureteral stent; however, the encrustation of the proximal and distal coils made it impossible. We then crushed the encrustation by transurethral lithotripsy and removed the ureteral stent successfully. The encrustation component was calcium phosphate, and the urinary pH during pregnancy and after delivery was 7.5.

conclusionEven in pregnant patients, patients placed ureteral stents for obstructive pyelonephritis with high urine pH might need to be replaced in the short term due to concerns regarding phosphate encrustation.
