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

With an increased risk of symptomatic events, the complications related to residual fragments are complex and intractable. The management of stone fragments is a challenge to urologists. This review focused on the progress, status, and needs of the newly developed physical therapies to remove fragments and improve the stone-free rate. Physical therapies, including mechanical percussion, diuresis, and inversion therapy, ultrasonic propulsion technology, glue-clot technology, and magnetization technology, will facilitate progress in endoscopic stone fragment retrieval.
