Managing a challenging case of bilaterally fractured DJ stents following extracorporeal shock waves lithotripsy for chronic encrustations: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Double-j stents are commonly used in many urological procedures to facilitate the drainage of renal systems postoperatively. Their usage has revolutionized the world of urological interventions but if left forgotten present serious complications. We report a case of an old man who was diagnosed with bilaterally fragmented DJ stents in situ in our urology department following his sessions of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for chronic encrustations. These stents were placed after complete breakdown of bilateral ureteral stones through ureterorenoscopy and laser lithotripsy.
