A clinical experience of thulium fibre laser in miniperc to dust with suction: a new horizon.
Article in World journal of urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeTo report safety and efficacy of mini-PCNL with suction attached to sheath combined with high-power Thulium Fibre laser (TFL). The secondary aim was to evaluate optimal laser settings for maximum stone dusting. MATERIALS AND
methodsProspective, single arm study was conducted from June 2019-December 2019 using miniPCNL with suction and TFL in 54 patients with renal stones < 3 cm. Stone fragments for each laser setting were independently retrieved and segregated according to size(< 1 mm,1-3 mm, > 3 mm) and weighed. Xray/CT scan imaging was performed in all patients within 48 h and 30 days to assess stone clearance. Optimal laser settings were evaluated for maximum dusting.
resultsMean stone size was 18.32 ± 6.37 mm, volume was 2337.75 ± 1996.84mm
conclusionsMiniPCNL using a nephrostomy sheath with suction along with high power Thulium Fibre Laser is safe and effective modality for lithotripsy. An initial laser setting of 0.2 J and 125-200 Hz was optimal for maximum dusting and simultaneous aspiration. Randomized comparative studies with other energy sources are being considered.
