Miniaturized Tract Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy for Pelvic Stone Management in a Two-Year-Old: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 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
Renal lithiasis in pediatric patients, although rare, affects children of all ages and both genders. Endourology has recently emerged as a safe and effective method for treating stones in children, thanks to advances in equipment and growing experience with retrograde and percutaneous treatments in adults. However, performing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in this age group presents unique challenges due to the smaller anatomical dimensions. We describe the case of a two-year-old girl with a history of multiple febrile urinary tract infections. A computed tomography (CT) scan shows a stone in the pelvis of the left kidney, measuring 7.43 x 5.64 x 10 mm with a density of 450 HU and no evidence of hydronephrosis. The patient was treated with a single session of miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL). Mini-PCNL presents a safe and effective option for treating kidney stones in pediatric patients. This approach demonstrates a high stone-free rate and low complication incidence, making it a viable alternative for young patients requiring stone removal.
