The feasibility of one-stage flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy in solitary kidney patients with 1-3 cm renal stones and risk factors of renal function changes.

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 compare perioperative outcomes and long-term renal function changes between prior stenting (PS) and not prior stenting (NPS) before flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy (f-URS) for solitary kidney patients.
methodsSolitary kidney patients with 10-30 mm renal stones were enrolled in this historical control study. Perioperative parameters and complications were compared. Stone-free was defined as the absence of any residual stones on a CT scan. Renal function changes were evaluated by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and adjusted for body surface area. A decrease in the eGFR over 20% was identified as 'deterioration' in renal function. The follow-up period was at least 6 months. Logistic regression was used to identify risk factors of renal function deterioration.
resultsOf the 76 patients included, 40 cases experienced prior stenting before f-URS. The average stone diameter was 16.8 ± 4.7 mm, ranging from 10.0 to 28.4 mm. Initial SFR was 85.0 and 83.3% in the PS and NPS groups, respectively (
conclusionIt appears that one-stage f-URS without PS could be feasible for 10-30 mm renal stones in solitary kidney patients, and less surgical time might be beneficial to protect renal function.
