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

Bladder stones are a common finding in urology practice although they are less common when compared to kidney and ureteral stones. This case report involves a male patient in his 40s with multiple giant bladder stones. The patient had neurogenic bladder disease due to spina bifida and had a history of bladder augmentation with continent urinary diversion when he was a child. He presented with difficulty in emptying bladder with clean intermittent catheterization. Open cystolithotomy was performed and six giant stones, five pyramid-shaped stones and a cube-shaped stone with a maximum diameter of 7 cm, were removed from the bladder. In our opinion, the rare occurrence of a high stone burden, stone weight and size, and geometric shapes of stones makes this case interesting. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the 10th day after the surgery and there were no postoperative complications.
