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

Renal calyceal diverticula are rarely diagnosed in children. Calculus formation within the diverticulum is a significant complication and its management in children remains controversial. We report our experience with 1 case, managed with minimally invasive surgery. We report one pediatric case who presented with flank pain. Physical examination, biochemistry and urinalysis were normal. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed calyceal diverticulum type II with secondary diverticular calculus. The patient underwent mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy and recovered uneventfully. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is safe and effective, and it can be offered as a first line therapy for symptomatic calyceal diverticular calculi in children.
