Staged Flexible Transurethral Lithotripsy After Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy for Concomitant Renal Cell Carcinoma and Ipsilateral Nephrolithiasis: 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
The optimal treatment sequence for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and concomitant ipsilateral renal calculi remains unclear. A 66-year-old man presented with a 45-mm left cystic renal mass adjacent to the collecting system and a 9-mm ipsilateral renal calculus. Because the stone was asymptomatic and oncological treatment was prioritized, robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) was performed first. Minor collecting system entry occurred and was repaired intraoperatively. Histopathology revealed papillary RCC, pT3a, with negative surgical margins. Three months after RAPN, stone migration caused mild hydronephrosis without infection or urine leakage. Flexible transurethral lithotripsy (fTUL) was safely performed 4 months after RAPN using a low intrarenal pressure strategy. No perioperative complications occurred. Staged low-pressure fTUL after RAPN with collecting system repair may be a feasible treatment strategy in selected patients with concomitant RCC and ipsilateral renal calculi.
