A systematic scoping review of Jackstone Calculi: clinical presentation and management.
Article in Urolithiasis, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Jackstone calculi are a rare and distinctive type of urinary stone characterized by their radiating spicule structure. They are primarily found in the bladder, and also occur in the renal pelvis. Because jackstone calculi are infrequently encountered in clinical practice, studies on their pathophysiology and clinical implications are relatively limited. This systematic scoping review aims to consolidate existing knowledge, find the deficiencies of current research, and provide a reference for further research. A comprehensive search was conducted using PubMed and Embase databases with the terms "Jackstone" and "jack stone[Title/Abstract]". The search strategy employed was: (jack stone[Title/Abstract]) OR (Jackstone) NOT (dog). And a dual-review process was used to screen titles and abstracts, resulting in 15 articles meeting the inclusion criteria for this review. The selected studies provided insights into the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging, and management of jackstone calculi. These stones typically exhibit a protein-rich, X-ray lucent core surrounded by concentric layers of calcium oxalate monohydrate.Common clinical symptoms include pain, hematuria, and urinary obstruction. Diagnostic imaging, particularly CT scans, is crucial for identifying these stones. The treatment of jackstone should pay attention to that it may be a Secondary outcome.Jackstone calculi, while rare, present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their distinct structure and formation mechanisms. This review consolidates current knowledge and underscores the need for further research to better understand their pathophysiology and optimize management strategies. Identifying and addressing these gaps will enhance clinical outcomes and patient care.
