Comprehensive overview of ureteral stents based on clinical aspects, material and design.
Review in Central European journal of urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Ureteral stents are useful devices in urological surgery. The main objective of a ureteric stent is to allow passage of urine and reduce early or late complications related to obstruction in the urinary tract. Despite their widespread use, there is a general lack of knowledge and awareness in stent composition and indication of application. We represented a synthesis of our extensive research over materials, coatings and shapes available on the market and then analyzed the main characteristics and peculiarities of ureteral stents. We have also focused our attention over the side effects and complication that must be considered when placing a ureteral stent. Encrustation, microbial colonization, stent-related symptoms and patient's history must always be evaluated when there is the need for a ureteral stent. The perfect stent should have many characteristics including easy insertion and removal, easy manipulation, resistance to encrustation and migration, lack of complications, biocompatibility, radio-opacity, biodurability, affordability (cost-effectiveness), tolerability and optimal flow characteristics. Nevertheless, further research and studies need to be done to provide more information about stent composition and efficacy in vivo. In this narrative review, we covered the basic information and main characteristics of ureteral stents, in order to help clinicians choose the appropriate device needed for a given situation.
