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

Purpose: To compare the perioperative efficacy and safety of ultramini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (ultramini-PCNL) combined with flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL) vs. standard-channel PCNL in patients with complex renal calculi, with a focus on evaluating the impacts of the two procedures on postoperative oxidative stress responses, inflammatory factor levels, and renal hemodynamic parameters. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 135 patients with complex renal calculi admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to December 2024. According to different surgical approaches, the patients were divided into a study group (SG, Results: Compared with the CG, perioperative blood volume, time to out of bed activity and hospital stay were shorter in the SG ( Conclusion: Ultramini-PCNL combined with FURL demonstrates superior efficacy in the treatment of complex renal calculi. This approach effectively improves stone-free rate, reduces stress responses, ameliorates inflammatory factor levels, and provides a high level of safety, supporting its broader clinical application
