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

Crossed fused renal ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly that can lead to urinary stasis, infection, and stone formation, although its aberrant anatomy often complicates both endoscopic and percutaneous access and treatment. We report a 68-year-old man presenting with recurrent right flank pain. Imaging revealed left-to-right crossed fused ectopia with a mal-rotated left kidney fused to an incompletely duplicated right kidney. A large stone was detected. The patient underwent an open pyelolithotomy, achieving near-complete clearance. This case highlights the continued role of open surgery in managing large stones in anomalous kidneys when minimally invasive options are unsafe or infeasible.
