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
Introduction and importance: Urolithiasis is a common condition, but management becomes challenging in patients with recurrent stones, anatomical variations, or a history of multiple interventions. Case presentation: A 56-year-old man with bilateral kidney stones and a duplex collecting system had a long-standing history of flank pain and had undergone several procedures, including ESWL, URSL, and PCNL. Most recently, he was presented with a right-sided renal stone. Clinical discussion: Urolithiasis in patients with duplex renal systems can lead to recurring stones, making treatment more complex. Imaging like ultrasound and CT scans help in diagnosis, and procedures like retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) are effective for removal and good surgical outcome. With stone analysis and follow-up care, including hydration and dietary changes, recurrence can be minimized. Conclusion: This case highlights the challenges of managing complex, recurrent urolithiasis in a patient with a duplex collecting system.
