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

purposeTo demonstrate the safety and efficacy of multiple-tract mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) on kidney function for the treatment of renal complex stones. PATIENTS AND

methodsFrom March 2019 to August 2023, 157 patients were treated with multiple-tract mini-PCNL at a single center. The clinical database was gathered in a retrospective manner, and the outcomes were recorded. All surgeries were performed by a urologist who had experience.

resultsThe average stone burden was 1383.3 mm

conclusionMultiple-tract mini-PCNL performed by experienced surgeons can be considered as a safe and feasible treatment method for treating complex kidney calculi.
