A multicentric non-randomized prospective observational study on the clinical efficiency of thulium fibre laser in large volume stones (> 1000 mm
Observational study in World journal of urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
purposeOur objective was to analyse the clinical efficiency of TFL in large volume stones during retrograde intrarenal surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients with large volume renal stones (> 1000 mm
resultsA total of 76 patients were included and analysed in the study. Mean stone volume was 1753.12 ± 1245.81 (1169.27-2193.25) mm
conclusionLaser efficiency increases at higher stone volumes (> 1000 mm
