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

Complete staghorn calculi present one of the most challenging conditions in managing upper urinary tract stones. The complexity of treatment increases significantly when combined with severe scoliosis, particularly in patients with a Cobb angle exceeding 90°. This case report describes the treatment of a patient with severe scoliosis, characterized by a Cobb angle greater than 90°, who also presented with complete staghorn calculi. The patient successfully underwent single-stage, totally ultrasound-guided, tubeless mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy, achieving excellent stone clearance without complications. This report aims to enhance the understanding of diagnosing and managing severe scoliosis in patients with complete staghorn calculi and to highlight the efficacy and safety of totally ultrasound-guided mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy as a surgical approach.
