Simulation of the temperature distribution of kidney stones induced by thulium fiber laser and Ho: YAG laser lithotripsy.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Simulation studies on temperature distribution in laser ablation help predict ablation rates, laser settings, and thermal damage. Despite the limited number of reported numerical studies on the temperature distribution of kidney fluid, there is no simulation study for kidney stone temperature distribution. We employ a numerical approach to study the kidney stone temperature distribution and predict ablation rates, which is an important parameter for clinical lithotripsy. The study looked at how the thulium fiber laser and the Ho:YAG laser differ in terms of temperature profile and ablation depth of kidney stones like calcium oxide monohydrate. The ablation depth increased from 152.7 µm to 489.7 µm when the TFL laser (operated at 10 Hz repetition rate and 1 ms pulse width) fluence increased from 764 J/cm
