Application of tip-flexible vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath in flexible ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy for renal stones in a child after pyeloplasty: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objectives: To explore the application of tip-flexible vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath-assisted retrograde intrarenal stone surgery/flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy in children. Patients and methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of a pediatric patient who developed kidney stones following pyeloplasty for congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction. The child underwent tip-flexible vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath-assisted retrograde intrarenal stone surgery under general anesthesia. Inpatient records and postoperative follow-up results were collected. Results: The kidney stones were utterly removed, and there were no complications like infection, bleeding, or secondary obstruction. Moreover, there was no significant damage to the anastomotic site after pyeloplasty. Conclusion: The use of tip-flexible vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath-assisted flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy is safe and effective for pediatric lithotripsy.
