A Prospective Study of Renal Blood Flow during Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery.

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
(I) Introduction: The use of Doppler ultrasound allows us to indirectly assess the effect of increased intrarenal pressure on renal blood flow during retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). On the basis of vascular flow spectra from selected blood vessels in the kidney, it is possible to determine Doppler parameters that reflect the renal perfusion status, which indirectly shows the degree of vasoconstriction and reflects the resistance of kidney tissue. (II) Materials and methods: A total of 56 patients were included in the study. The study assessed the changes of three Doppler parameters of intrarenal blood flow: resistive index-RI, pulsatility index-PI, and acceleration time-AT in the ipsilateral and contralateral kidneys during RIRS. The effects of mean stone volume, energy used, and pre-stenting were examined as predictors and calculated at two time intervals. (III) Results: The mean value of RI and PI was significantly higher in the ipsilateral kidney than in the contralateral kidney just after RIRS. The mean value of the acceleration time was not significantly different before and after RIRS. The values of all three parameters 24 h after the procedure were comparable to their values immediately after the RIRS. The size of the stone exposed to laser lithotripsy, the value of the energy used, and pre-stenting are not factors that significantly influence Doppler parameters during RIRS. (IV) Conclusions: The significant increase in RI and PI after RIRS in the ipsilateral kidney suggests a vasoconstriction of the interlobar arteries generated by increased intrarenal pressure during the procedure.
