When Stones Escape: A Rare Radiologic Finding of Retroperitoneal Stone Extrusion Following American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) Grade IV Blunt Renal Trauma in a Chronically Hydronephrotic Kidney.

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
Traumatic injury of a hydronephrotic kidney is uncommon, and extrusion of calculi beyond the renal capsule is exceptionally rare. We describe a middle-aged man with severe left hydronephrosis who sustained a low-impact fall, resulting in an American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grade IV renal laceration. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed urinary extravasation, inflammatory urothelial enhancement consistent with uretero-pyelitis, and multiple displaced calculi within the retroperitoneum. A double-J stent was inserted after the initial scan. Follow-up CT demonstrated a well-circumscribed perirenal collection with peripheral enhancement during the venous phase, consistent with a superinfected urinoma. Conservative management led to full recovery. This case highlights how chronic obstruction weakens the renal parenchyma, predisposing to rupture and stone migration even after minor trauma.
