Super multiple-tract minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy in one stage for treating complex renal stones: an initial experience.
Article in BMC urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundComplex kidney stones usually require multi-tract percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to remove the stone completely. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical feasibility and safety of super multiple-tract (≥ 5 tracts) minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (Mini-PCNL) in one stage for treating complex renal stones.
methodsFrom March 2019 to August 2023, the perioperative clinical data of 35 patients who underwent super multiple-tract Mini-PCNL for complex kidney stones in our institution were collected and analyzed, retrospectively.
resultsA total of 35 patients were included in this study. The mean stone size and volume were 78.9 ± 22.8 mm and 13792.4 ± 5509.3 mm
conclusionWhen performed by experienced urologists, super multiple-tract Mini-PCNL for treating some complex renal stones in one stage is feasible and safe in enhancing the stone-free rate.
