A meta analysis of the lateral decubitus position and prone position percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
Synthesis in BMC urology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective To analyzed the safety and efficacy of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in lateral decubitus position and prone position for upper ureteral calculi. Methods Databases including PubMed, Springer, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, CNKI, CSPD and VIP were searched for clinical controlled studies involved with lateral decubitus position and prone position PCNL from their establishment to November 2023.Studies were enrolled according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. the dates were compared by Review Manager 5.4 software. Results seven studies were eligible, including 807 cases. The Meta-analysis showed that, blood loss and perioperative complication rate of lateral decubitus position PCNL group were significantly different from those of the prone position PCNL group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding hospital time, operative time, channel establishment time and stone-free rate (P>0.05).Conclusions The lateral decubitus position can reduce blood loss and perioperative complication rate. The lateral decubitus position PCNL is safe and effective for upper ureteral calculi which was deserved clinical popularizing use.
