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

Complex upper urinary-tract disorders (CUUTD) pose challenges owing to multifactorial etiology. Evidence on hybrid endoscopic-robotic approaches (HERA) remains limited. We evaluated the efficacy, safety, and outcomes of HERA for CUUTD across adult and pediatric populations. We performed a PRISMA-compliant systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis of pooled proportions (Freeman-Tukey transformation) registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251022229). PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science databases were searched for English full-texts only (last searched: June 22, 2025). Inclusion criteria were: randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomized studies using HERA for CUUTD. Exclusion criteria were: isolated pathologies, single-modality, non-English, and insufficient data. Populations were grouped as adult, pediatric, or mixed. The independent dual review and risk of bias (RoB) assessment used Joanna Briggs Institute checklists. Heterogeneity (I
