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

Ureteral lithiasis in renal allografts can quickly compromise graft function, particularly as the transplant kidney often serves as a solitary functioning unit. A 45-year-old male renal allograft recipient presented with acute graft dysfunction four years post-transplantation, with imaging revealing a 5-mm proximal ureteral stone and hydronephrosis. Retrograde ureteroscopic access and stent placement failed due to severe ureteral tortuosity. The procedure was converted to endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery(ECIRS), successfully removing the stone via a rendezvous-assisted approach. Postoperative outcomes were favorable, with improved serum creatinine and stable graft function at six months, demonstrating ECIRS as a salvage approach when retrograde methods fail.
