Risk factors of infectious complications after retrograde intrarenal surgery: a retrospective clinical analysis.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07535281 (Effect of Complete Suction-Induced Collapse of the Renal Collecting System at the End of Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery on Early Postoperative Outcomes), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 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.

Abstract
objectiveStone disease is one of the most common afflictions in modern society. Complications following retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) vary considerably, and small-diameter ureteral access sheaths are reportedly significantly associated with rates of infectious complications following RIRS. This study aimed to explore additional risk factors for infectious complications after RIRS.
methodsThis study retrospectively analyzed 602 patients who underwent RIRS between December 2016 and October 2019 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University. All flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy processes were conducted with patients under general anesthesia in the low lithotomy position. Postoperative systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was diagnosed; statistical analyses comprised two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and one-way multivariate ANOVA.
resultsThe incidence of infectious complications after RIRS was 7.14%. Operative time was an independent risk factor that increased the risk of infection. Stone size >2 cm was observed in 153 (27.37%) patients in the SIRS group and 29 patients (67.44%) in the non-SIRS group.
conclusionsFindings in the literature suggest that early antibiotic treatment and active fluid therapy might lower the rate of infectious complications after RIRS. Our results indicate that extended operative time and increased stone size may be risk factors for infectious complications after RIRS.
