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

Giant bladder stones are uncommon in our industrialized countries specially in the female and pediatric population. Cystolithotomy has always been the treatment of choice. We present the case of a 14 years old girl with a 75 × 53mm bladder stone discovered by ultrasound and confirmed by MRI. She was successfully managed by cystolithotripsy with the use of SuperPulsed thulium-Fiber laser. The treatment was conducted as two separate outpatient procedures and the recovery was uneventful. This case highlights the feasibility and advantages of minimally invasive management of giant bladder stone with the use of the Thulium Fiber Laser.
