Analysis of risk factors for urinary tract infection and bleeding after retrograde flexible ureteroscopy for stone removal.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective: This study aimed to explore the risk factors for urinary tract infection (UTI) and bleeding after retrograde flexible ureteroscopy for stone removal, in order to prevent these complications and improve surgical outcomes. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 214 patients who underwent retrograde flexible ureteroscopy for kidney stones and ureteral stones from January 2015 to August 2022, with 135 patients having complete data. Clinical data, perioperative data, and stone characteristics were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for UTI and bleeding after retrograde flexible ureteroscopy for stone removal. Results: The UTI rate after retrograde flexible ureteroscopy for stone removal was 8.15% (11/135), and the bleeding rate was 11.85% (16/135). Factors such as length of hospital stay ( Conclusion: Stone size is an independent risk factor for UTI after retrograde flexible ureteroscopy for stone removal, while both stone size and operation time are independent risk factors for bleeding after the procedure.
