Single-use flexible ureteroscopes: Comparative
Article in Asian journal of urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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.

Abstract
Objective: Single-use flexible ureteroscopes (fURSs) have recently been introduced by different companies. Goal of this Methods: We performed Results: Color perception was comparable for all scopes at 10 mm ( Conclusion: Color representation was equivalent for Indoscope and LithoVue, while being better than Uscope 7.5 Fr and Uscope 9.5 Fr. Image resolution was comparable in all scopes at the distances of 10 mm and 20 mm. Beyond the distance of 10 mm, luminosity of LithoVue was the highest and that of Uscope 7.5 Fr was the lowest. Deflection loss was the minimum with Indoscope and the maximum with 7.5 Fr Uscope. Under all scenarios, irrigation flow rates were comparable in all scopes.
