Prediction of stone-free status after single-session retrograde intrarenal surgery for renal stones.
Article in Turkish journal of urology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo determine the possible factors effecting stone-free status (SFS) after single-session retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for renal stones. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the charts of 100 consecutive patients who underwent RIRS. Unilateral procedures performed for single renal stones were included in the study. The studied parameters included patient demographics, stone characteristics (size, volume, location and attenuation according to Hounsfield unit [HU]), operation time, presence of preoperative double-J stent (DJS), use of ureteral access sheath (UAS) and SFS.
resultsThe study population consisted of 100 patients where 43 of them were stone free and remaining 57 had residual stones. The mean age of the patients was 47.2±13.4 years. The mean stone size (largest dimension), stone attenuation and stone volume were 14.8±5.8 mm, 1010±416 HU and 937±929 mm
conclusionStone volume could be a more reliable parameter than stone size in predicting RIRS success. Lower pole stone location and UAS use could be considered the most significant predictors of SFS after single session RIRS for single renal stones.
