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

Objective: Very limited data are available exploring the potential influence of gender on Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery outcomes. This study investigates the gender-specific influence of ShuoTongureteroscopy (ST-urs) and Flexible Ureteroscopy (F-urs) surgeries on operation efficacy and patient recovery in a sample of the Somali population. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 390 participants. Participants were stratified into four gender-specific subgroups based on ureteroscopy operation type: 27.7% males in S-urs (group1), 44.4% females in S-urs (group2), 18.7% males in F-urs (group3), and 9.2% females in F-urs (group4). Primary outcomes included operation time, postoperative hospital stay duration, and VAS Pain Score. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess associations. Results: The mean age was 29.53 ± 7.61 years, 72.1% male and 27.9% female, with 46.4% of the patients undergoing ST-urs and 53.6% undergoing F-urs. Women had higher odds of prolonged hospital stays (OR = 2.62, 95% CI: 1.43-4.82, p < 0.001) and post-operation pain (OR = 5.06, 95% CI: 2.95-8.68, p = 0.002). Among men who underwent F-urs procedure, there was a significantly higher odds ratio (OR) of 6.14 (95% CI: 2.86-13.19, p < 0.001) for experiencing a long operation time. Conversely, for females, those who underwent S-urs surgery had a notably lower OR of 0.32 (95% CI: 0.13-0.79, p = 0.013) for long operation time, whereas those who underwent F-urs surgery exhibited a substantially elevated OR of 5.36 (95% CI: 1.85-15.53, p < 0.001). Both females undergoing F-urs surgery (OR: 5.16, 95% CI: 2.61-10.21, p < 0.001) and those undergoing F-urs surgery (OR: 5.25, 95% CI: 2.17-12.73, p < 0.001) experienced significantly higher post-operative pain. Conclusion: Our research reveals gender disparities in retrograde intrarenal surgery outcomes. Women experience longer hospital stays and higher postoperative pain levels compared to men. F-urs procedures are associated with longer operation times and hospital stays, particularly affecting women. Contrarily, ST-urs offers shorter operation times for women but leads to prolonged hospital stays and heightened postoperative pain.
