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
objectiveTo compare the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) and ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) in treating proximal ureteral stones.
methodsThe clinical data of 86 patients with proximal ureteral stones, admitted to the Department of Urology at the First People's Hospital of Chun'an County from May 2021 to May 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into a PCNL group (n=41) and a URSL group (n=45) based on the treatment modality. Key outcomes compared between the two groups included surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, incidence of complications, hospital stay, stone clearance rate, lithotripsy success rate, renal function indicators, and levels of inflammatory factors.
resultsThe PCNL group had significantly higher intraoperative blood loss and longer postoperative hospital stay compared with the URSL group, whereas the operative time was remarkably shorter (
conclusionBoth PCNL and URSL are effective treatments for proximal ureteral stones. However, PCNL offers superior clinical effectiveness and safety.
