Clinical application of flexible ureteroscopic sheath with controllable intraluminal pressure in treating ureteral stones.
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 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: The purpose of the study was to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of a combined perfusion suction platform with pressure feedback control function and an ureteroscopic suction sheath that can measure the ureteropelvic pressure in implementing lithotripsies. Methods: Fifty-two patients who underwent lithotripsy under intelligent monitoring of ureteral intraluminal pressure from June 2016 to January 2018 were retrospectively recruited. The inclusion standard was stone diameter >1.5 cm but <2.5 cm. After the 12/14 Fr suction sheath was placed, manometer interface and suction interface of the sheath were connected to the platform via the pressure sensor and suction tube, respectively. The ureteroscope was connected to the platform perfusion pump, and the crushed stones were aspirated out under negative pressure. Results: According to the location of the stone, 21 (40.4%) cases were classified as upper ureteral stones, 19 (36.5%) were midureteral stones, and 12 (23.1%) were lower ureteral stones. Forty-seven patients underwent successful primary sheath placement and lithotripsy with a mean operative time of 34.5 (standard deviation 18.3) min. Retrograde stone migration did not occur. There were eight patients with hematuria postoperatively. Serious complication was 1.9% with one case of ureteral perforation. Stone clearance was 95.7% at Day 1-2 postoperatively, and 100% at Day 30 postoperatively. Conclusion: Ureteroscopic lithotripsy with intelligent pressure control using our device improved the efficiency of the lithotripsy and rate of stone clearance. The safety of the operation can be ensured. It is worth popularization and application in clinical practice.
