How I do it: percutaneous cystolitholapaxy for bladder stones with complex lower urinary tract anatomy.
Review in The Canadian journal of urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
While cystolitholapaxy for bladder stones is commonly performed using a transurethral approach, large or complex stone burdens in patients with complex lower urinary tract anatomy may make this inefficient or infeasible. Percutaneous cystolitholapaxy is a safe, effective, minimally invasive alternative for diverse indications, including patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, urethral stricture disease, closed bladder neck, continent catheterized channel, or other urinary diversion. In this article, we review the indications for and advantages of percutaneous cystolitholapaxy and describe our step-by-step technique for this procedure, including representative imaging and favored equipment. We also discuss preoperative and postoperative considerations, management of potential complications, strategies to optimize clinical outcomes and patient safety, and comparisons with transurethral approaches. Finally, we report outcomes from our institutional series of percutaneous cystolitholapaxy cases to highlight the safety and efficacy of the procedure.
