Spontaneous steinstrasse-a rare clinical case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
The term "steinstrasse" was first introduced by Egbert Schmiedt and Christian Chaussy in the 1980s to describe stone accumulation in the ureter following extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Clinically, patients present with lumbar pain, nausea/vomiting, and lower urinary track symptoms. Severe cases may lead to obstruction or sepsis. It is observed mostly in patients who have undergone extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, but in rare cases it can occur spontaneously. Spontaneous formation of steinstrasse is a rare phenomenon with only several cases reported in literature so far and for that reason there are no standard protocols for the management of such patients. Various factors need to be taken into account when choosing the optimal therapeutic strategy. We present a rare clinical case of idiopathic spontaneously occurring steinstrasse. We will discuss the clinical course, the diagnostic algorithm, and the therapeutic approach.
