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
Introduction: Surgical clips used in laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgeries can occasionally migrate into the upper urinary tract, serving as nidi for stone formation. We report a case of a surgical clip-induced renal stone successfully treated with ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) following laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). Case Presentation: A 37-year-old male with a 17-mm renal stone in the right middle calyx underwent URSL. His surgical history included right LPN performed four years prior, with operative records documenting pyelocaliceal system entry and Hem-o-lok clip placement. During the operation, a Hem-o-lok clip was identified within the stone. All fragments along with the surgical clip were completely retrieved using a basket forceps after laser lithotripsy. Conclusion: This case highlights important clinical considerations: the appropriate use of surgical clips during LPN, selection of optimal endourological treatment approaches for stone removal, and the importance of careful follow-up for early detection and intervention of clips and clip-induced stones.
