Assesment of factors affecting outcome of Mini-PCNL by single-shot dilatation in Pediatric Patients.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThe prevalence of stone disease in children is increasing, necessitating approaches using instruments of more suitable sizes for surgical treatment. We aim to convey our experience with Mini-PCNL. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed a total of 72 renal units that underwent single-shot dilatation Mini-PCNL(≤ 17.5F) between August 2017 and November 2024. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess the factors for surgical success (no postoperative residual) and complications.
resultsMedians for our cohort were age at surgery was 5.5 years, operation time was 120 min, hospitalization time was 5 days, stone size was 2.04 cm
conclusionMini-PCNL is a surgical method that can be performed safely in the pediatric age group due to its high stone-free rate. However, it should be kept in mind that the success rates are lower in those with a history of PCNL due to anatomical challenges secondary to previous surgeries and with high stone burden. Patients with cystine stones deserve more effort to make them free of fragments.
