Importance of Considering the Duplex Collecting System During Routine Endourological Procedures: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report the case of a 58-year-old woman who initially presented to the emergency department with intermittent nausea, vomiting, and left upper quadrant abdominal pain for six days. As part of the abdominal pain workup in the emergency department, contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic CT and laboratory assessment were performed, which were consistent with pyelonephritis secondary to a distal ureteral stone. Interestingly, while the imaging failed to detect any significant anatomic variation, a duplicated collecting system was diagnosed during ureteral stent placement. Recognition of this anomaly was crucial for successful patient management. Awareness of anatomic variants is essential during endourological procedures, as diagnostic imaging may not reliably detect them.
