1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Dear Editor, The original paper by Ahmad Para S et al1 analyzed the incidence of ureteral strictures following holmium: yttrium aluminum garnet (Ho:YAG) and thulium fiber laser (TFL) endocorporeal laser lithotripsy (ELL) for ureteral stones. The authors should be commended for their work because this is the first prospective randomized controlled trial comparing the ureteric stricture rates between these 2 laser technologies for ELL. This study concluded that the TFL had a higher incidence of ureteral strictures than the Ho: YAG laser. Our editorial letter aims to clarify and highlight some key points.
