1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionPostoperative infection is still one of the most common complications following flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy (FURL). However, whether a combination of negative pressure ureteroscopy (and Soton ureteroscopy) is superior to FURL in lithotripsy with regard to intraoperative pressure and possibly the incidence of postoperative infection remains to be validated.

aimTo explore the effect of a Soton ureteroscope on infection following flexible ureteroscope lithotripsy. MATERIAL AND

methodsSixty patients with kidney stones were randomly divided equally into study and control groups. The operation duration, stone-free rate, postoperative blood routine, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, and other data between the two groups were then analysed and compared.

resultsThere were no statistically significant differences between the study group and the control group regarding the average operation time and the average number of hospitalization days. The mean stone-free rate 1 week after surgery and mean VAS pain score 1 day after surgery for the study group and the control group were 91.3% and 0.27 vs. 76.9% and 0.61, respectively. Notably, the average body temperature after the first day of the operation was 36.4°C in the study group and 36.7°C in the control group. More importantly, concerning postoperative infection index, white blood cells (WBCs), percentage of neutrophils, C-reactive protein, and procalcitonin were all lower in the study group than in the control group.

conclusionsCompared with flexible ureteroscopy alone, combined use of Soton ureteroscopy is associated with fewer substantially infection following lithotripsy.
