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

To optimize channel configurations for a flexible ureteroscope incorporating both irrigation and suction channels, in vitro experiments were conducted with the aim of achieving safer and more efficient surgical procedures. Upper urinary tract models with integrated pressure-sensing ports were constructed based on CT urography reconstructions. Functional ureteroscope prototypes with various combinations of infusion and suction channel diameters were developed. Using a controlled constant-pressure irrigation system, intrarenal pressure measurements were obtained from the upper, middle, and lower calyces, as well as the renal pelvis. The effects of varying infusion pressures on irrigation flow rates and intrarenal pressure distribution were assessed. Regression models were subsequently established for renal pelvic pressure (RPP) and irrigation flow rate, allowing for the determination of the optimal channel diameter configuration by integrating model predictions with clinical requirements. At an infusion pressure of 500 cmH
