Novel approach to retrograde ureterorenoscopy: a case report of laparoscopic-assisted ureterorenoscopy for minor calyx stone removal.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
A 16-year-old male presented to OPD with right-sided flank pain associated with lower urinary tract symptoms. CT scan and ultrasound findings demonstrated a 12.9 mm renal stone in the lower calyx and moderate hydronephrosis, respectively. The diagnosis of pelvic ureteric junction obstruction was confirmed by a diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (DTPA) scan. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty was planned but to remove the stone from a hard-to-reach location i.e. minor calyx, ureterorenoscope was introduced from one of the laparoscopic ports. The stone was retrieved successfully. This case represents the implementation of laparoscopic-assisted ureteroscopy instead of conventional retrograde ureteroscopy. This technique warrants further study as it makes the overall procedure more efficient and time-saving.
