Management of an Intraparenchymal Struvite Stone Using Laparoscopic Nephrolithotomy: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. 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
This study aims to present a case of laparoscopic nephrolithotomy and highlight its successful outcome. The patient was a 65-year-old male who experienced intermittent colicky flank pain. Imaging revealed the presence of a 20-mm round-shaped stone in a hydronephrotic calyx located in the mid-pole of the left kidney, possibly with a parenchymal component. Given the stone's location, neither percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) nor ureterorenoscopy (URS) was considered feasible. The findings of this study demonstrate the effectiveness and suitability of laparoscopic nephrolithotomy (LNL) in managing stones. It emphasizes that LNL can be utilized not only as an alternative treatment but also as a viable initial option when appropriate case selection is made.
