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
Objective: Supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (sPCNL) is widely accepted as a safe and effective treatment for kidney stones. This study aims to assess surgical outcomes and identify predictive factors for residual fragments following sPCNL in the Galdakao-modified Valdivia position (GMV-sPCNL). Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the clinical data of patients undergoing GMV-sPCNL. The primary outcomes were the stone-free rate (SFR) and the complication rate. Demographic, radiologic, and perioperative parameters were also compared between patients with and without residual stones. Results: 195 patients [Male:127 (65.1%); Female: 68 (34.9%)] were included. The mean age was 48.6±15.6 years; the mean body mass index (BMI) was 27.4±5 kg/m2. The overall SFR was 83.1%. Residual stones were associated with greater stone burden (number, size, surface area, and volume), longer operative time, and longer hospitalization (p<0.05). Gender, age, BMI, stone laterality, and density were not significantly associated with SFR. The receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that having more than two stones, a stone size ≥26 mm, or a stone volume ≥2639.8 mm3 significantly predicted residual fragments. Stone volume demonstrated the best predictive performance, with sensitivity and specificity of 81.8% and 61.0%, respectively. GMV-sPCNL was associated with a low overall complication rate: 86.2% of patients experienced no or only minor complications, and major complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥3) occurred in just 4.6% of cases. Conclusions: GMV-sPCNL demonstrates high success rates and an acceptable complication profile. Stone burden parameters such as stone number, stone size, and stone volume are important determinants of surgical success.
