Bilateral Life-Threatening Obstructive Cystine Stones in a 19-Month-Old Child Requiring Staged Endourological Management: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Cystinuria is an inherited disorder that can lead to recurrent stone disease with a very early onset and possible devastating effects. Severe presentations in infancy are uncommon but may be life-threatening, particularly when obstruction is bilateral, which can cause acute renal injury and impairment. We report a 22‑month‑old boy who presented with anuric acute kidney injury, severe hyperkalemia, and ventricular tachycardia secondary to bilateral obstructing cystine stones. He initially required emergency decompression, followed by staged percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedures aided by retrograde intrarenal procedures. This case highlights the need for rapid decompression, careful staging of definitive surgery, and long‑term metabolic management in young children with cystinuria.
