Does silodosin offer better results than tamsulosin as medical expulsive treatment after shock wave lithotripsy for single distal ureteric 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
introductionDifferent antagonists of
aimTo retrospectively evaluate the expulsion rate of fragments after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy performed for single ureteral stones followed by different medical expulsive treatments. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed stone expulsion rates of 190 patients treated by shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) for single, 5 to 10 mm, symptomatic and uncomplicated distal ureteric stones, treated with tamsulosin 0.4 mg, silodosin 8 mg or silodosin 4 mg as MET. Beside the stone-free rate after 4 weeks of treatment, we also investigated the pain intensity using the visual analogue scale (VAS), adverse events induced by the medication, safety of drug administration and the reasons for possible early treatment discontinuation.
resultsSilodosin 8 mg and tamsulosin 0.4 mg have similar results in terms of stone-free rate. For silodosin 4 mg the stone-free rate was significantly lower than for the previous two drugs. In patients treated with silodosin 4 mg the VAS was significantly higher than in patients treated with silodosin 8 mg or tamsulosin 0.4 mg, for all the follow-up visits.
conclusionsAlpha-blocker treatment after ESWL with silodosin 8 mg offers a similar stone-free rate compared with tamsulosin 0.4 mg, being well tolerated. A lower dose of silodosin (4 mg) has significantly poor results, irrespective of ureteric stone size, with more frequent renal colic and severe pain.
