Effect of indwelling time of double J tube on infected ureteral calculi and the distribution of pathogenic characteristics in diabetics.

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 investigate the effect of double J tube indwelling time on infected ureteral calculi (UC) and distribution of pathogenic characteristics in diabetics.
methods132 diabetics with infected UC admitted to our hospital from April 2017 to April 2020 were selected. All patients were implanted with a double J tube, followed by percutaneous nephrolithotomy or ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. According to the indwelling time, they were divided into a research group (≤ 7 d, 60 cases) and a control group (> 7 d, 72 cases). We compared the baseline data, and surgical data of the two groups, and analyzed pathogenic bacteria.
resultsNone of the differences in the operation time, hospital stay, and stone diameter were statistically significant (P > 0.05). Before placement of the double J tube, no striking differences in urinary white blood cells and blood white blood cells were observed between the two groups (P > 0.05). 7 days after the placement of the double J tube, a significant decrease of the urinary white blood cells and blood white blood cells was recorded (P < 0.05), with no significant differences between the two groups (P > 0.05). Before and after placement of double J tube, no striking differences in body temperature > 38.5°C or positive blood culture were observed between the two groups (P > 0.05). Surgical methods, stone removal rate one month after the operation, or incidence of postoperative complications were not significantly different (P > 0.05). 49 pathogenic strains were detected, among which Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 63.27%. The main pathogens were Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
conclusionThe indwelling time of the double J tube has no significant effect on the effectiveness and safety in diabetic patients with infected UC. It is necessary to reduce the indwelling time and implement targeted stone surgery.
