Laparoscopic Retrieval of Foreign Body in the Kidney: An Unusual Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Case reports in urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Renal foreign bodies are rare clinical entities that may result from iatrogenic injury, ingestion, or trauma. They often present with nonspecific symptoms, making diagnosis challenging. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 42-year-old woman with right flank pain of 2 months and a surgical history of Burch colposuspension and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Computed tomography revealed a 6-cm linear hyperdense object, representing a needle-like foreign body that penetrated the posterior cortex of the right kidney. She underwent successful transperitoneal laparoscopic retrieval, with an uneventful postoperative course and complete recovery. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion and supports minimally invasive retrieval as a safe and effective approach, yielding favorable clinical outcomes.
