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.

Abstract

purposeA new digital single-use flexible ureteroscope, Pusen direct in scope suction (DISS) 7.5Fr (PU3033AH), was evaluated with respect to manoeuvrability, suction quality, visibility and clinical efficiency.

methodsA prospective cohort study was conducted in six tertiary reference centers in Europe and Asia between February-April 2024. Adult patients who underwent flexible ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy (fURSL) for urolithiasis were included. Demographic, intraoperative and follow-up characteristics were recorded. Quality parameters were rated by each surgeon using a Likert scale.

resultsa total of 57 fURSL were performed. Preoperative characteristics revealed a mean stone volume of 480.00mm

conclusionThe DISS 7.5 Pusen ureteroscope displayed good visibility, manoeuvrability and suction quality, with excellent operative results. Further evaluation with larger comparative cohorts will help understand the potential of in-vivo use of integrated suctioning systems for fURSL.
