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

Recurrent ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) with renal calculi poses a surgical challenge. Miniature Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery (mini-ECIRS) with low-wattage Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL) enables simultaneous stone clearance and precise endopyelotomy. We report a case of a 51-year-old woman with recurrent UPJO and renal stones treated using mini-ECIRS and TFL-assisted retrograde endopyelotomy. Dual endoscopic access allowed effective stone fragmentation and accurate UPJ incision. Operative time was 75 min, with no complications. This case supports mini-ECIRS with low-energy TFL as a safe, single-session treatment for recurrent UPJO with renal stones.
