Dumbbell-Shaped Giant Vesical Calculus Extending into the Urethra in a Female.

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
Bladder calculi occur predominantly in men, and their incidence is very low in females. Female urethral calculi are even rarer and are usually associated with anatomical or pathological abnormalities. This case report describes a female patient with a giant calculus extending from the urinary bladder into the urethra, crossing the bladder neck. The patient had a three-year history of lower urinary tract symptoms before diagnosis. She was presented with acute pyelonephritis on the left side, bilateral hydronephrosis due to reflux, and recurrent urinary tract infections. An emergency cystostomy was performed at our medical center for urinary drainage, followed by open cystolithotomy. Urethroscopy revealed a urethral diverticulum near the bladder neck; however, the patient declined diverticulum resection. A five-year follow-up was conducted. This case report provides valuable insights into diagnosing and treating rare lower urinary tract calculi in females, accompanied by a literature review.
