An ex-vivo assessment of a new single probe triple modality (Trilogy) lithotripter.
Article in World journal of urology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.

objectivesThis Swiss LithoClast MATERIALS AND
methodsKidney stone phantoms were made with Begostone in a powder to water ratio (15:3-15:6). Complete stone clearance (seconds) was calculated and impact and frequency were adjusted and repeated N = 3. Intra renal pressure (IRP) was then measured in a porcine kidney model.
resultsStone phantoms with physical properties similar to struvite were cleared best with 100% impact and frequency of 12 Hz. Both uric acid stone phantoms and calcium phosphate stone phantoms were cleared most efficiently with an impact of 30% and a frequency of 4 Hz. The mean time to clear uric acid stone phantoms was 83 s versus 217 s for calcium phosphate stone phantoms. Similarly, for calcium oxalate stone phantoms, an impact of 30% and a frequency of 4 Hz was associated with the fastest clearance time, mean 204 s. However, the differences between 4, 8 and 12 Hz were not statistically significant. At a suction level of 60% or higher, IRP became negative.
conclusionThese results indicate that stone phantoms of hard kidney stones are cleared more efficiently at lower impact and frequency settings. With regard to suction, a setting of ≤ 50% appears to be the optimal setting.
