Endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery for staghorn calculus in a horseshoe kidney with double collecting system: A case report.
Article in Urology case reports, 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
Horseshoe kidney (HSK) with a duplicated collecting system and a bifid ureter is a unique surgical challenge. We report the case of a 43-year-old male patient with a left HSK, duplicated collecting system, bifid ureter, staghorn calculus in the lower moiety, and proximal ureteral stone. The procedure of mini-endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (mECIRS) with mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) was successfully performed, resulting in minimal blood loss and no intraoperative complications. This case exemplifies the feasibility of employing mECIRS with a single-tract, tubeless mini-PCNL, combined with flexible ureteroscopy, to achieve complete stone clearance in a rare and challenging anatomical context.
