Efficacy of Silodosin and Tadalafil monotherapy versus combination of both drugs as MET for distal ureteric stones: A prospective, double blinded, randomized clinical trial.
Article in Arab journal of urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: To assess efficacy and safety of silodosin, tadalafil, versus combination of both medications as medical expulsive therapy (MET) for distal ureteric stones. Methods: This prospective, double blinded, randomized clinical trial included 128 patients aged 18 years or more irrespective of gender who are presented to emergency department or outpatient with distal ureteric stones ranging in size from 5-10 mm, randomized into three groups: Group I ( Results: The expulsion rate was 71.4% for silodosin, 61.4% for tadalafil and 88.1% for combined therapy ( Conclusions: A combination of Silodosin with Tadalafil as a MET for distal ureteric stones is more effective than monotherapy with tolerable side effects.
