Factors associated with postoperative pain after retrograde intrarenal surgery for kidney stones.

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
objectiveWe aimed to investigate factors related to early postoperative pain after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). MATERIAL AND
methodsA prospective data analysis of 250 patients who underwent RIRS due to kidney stones was performed. Postoperative pain was evaluated in all patients by using visual analogue scale (VAS). Patients with severe pain (VAS score ≥7) were separated and included in Group I (n=46). While patients without pain or with insignificant pain were included in Group II (n=204). The impact of patient-related (age, gender, renal anomalies, shock wave lithotripsy history, preoperative hydronephrosis) stone-related (stone number, side, size, location and opacity) and operation-related (preoperative and postoperative ureteral J-stenting, ureteral injury, postoperative bleeding and fever, stone-free rates, size of access sheath, and sheath indwelling time) factors on early stage postoperative pain (if any) were investigated.
resultsFemale gender increased the risk for pain 3.6-fold (p<0.05). One millimeter increase in stone diameter increased the risk for postoperative pain 1.15-fold. Prolonged sheath time was another important factor which increased the risk for pain (p<0.05). Patients with high residual fragments were also prone to early postoperative pain.
conclusionAccording to our results, patient-, stone-and operation-related factors associated with postoperative pain after RIRS were female gender, stone size and sheath time.
