Retrospective study of ureteral stenosis after holmium laser lithotripsy.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo identify the factors influencing postoperative ureteral stenosis following holmium laser lithotripsy.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted of 106 patients who underwent ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. The effects of variables including stone location, stone size, the duration of surgery, water intake, disease duration, and stone-associated polyps were investigated.
resultsLogistic regression analysis revealed significant associations of ureteral stenosis with stone location, stone size, duration of surgery, water intake, disease duration, and stone-associated polyps. Patients with proximal stones, with large stones, who underwent long surgical procedures, who drank a large amount of water, who had long-term disease, and who had stone-related polyps were more likely to develop postoperative ureteral stenosis.
conclusionSignificant perioperative complications of holmium laser lithotripsy are associated with prolonged disease, large ureteral stones, long incarceration periods, and the presence of polyps. Surgeons should consider these risk factors during the preoperative evaluation of patients and surgical planning to minimize the risk of postoperative ureteral stenosis.
