Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery for a Large Stone in a Rare Fused Supernumerary Kidney.
Article in Cureus, 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 supernumerary kidney is a rare birth defect where an extra kidney is present. This extra kidney has its own separate outer covering, blood supply, and collection system. Normally, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the treatment of choice for large kidney stones, but its ideal use for supernumerary kidneys is unknown. This report aims to show the success of a surgical technique called endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS) for removing a big stone from the fused supernumerary kidney of a patient. A 48-year-old man experienced occasional mild chronic pain in his left flank and occasionally hematuria. An imaging scan showed a stone (2.5 cm, 924 Hounsfield units) in a fused supernumerary kidney on the left side. The stone was successfully removed with a single procedure of PCNL that consisted of PCNL and a retrograde ureteroscopy approach at the same surgical time. ECIRS management of urinary tract calculi can be a consideration for patients presenting with fused supernumerary kidney and large stone, offering a reasonable success rate.
