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

Introduction: Pre-stenting remains a subject of debate, and its influence on FANS assisted ureteroscopy is unclear. The global FANS collaborative group aims to address the influence of pre-stenting on FANS-assisted ureterorenoscopy (URS). Material and methods: This prospective multicentre study assesses the outcomes of 394 patients undergoing FANS-assisted ureteroscopy for renal stones. Patients were stratified into a non-pre-stented (group 1, n = 163) and pre-stented group (group 2, n = 231). Data on demographics, stone characteristics, operative parameters, and postoperative 30-day outcomes were analysed. Statistical analyses, including multivariate regression, were performed for stone-free rates (SFR) and complications. SFR was defined by bone window on non-contrast computed tomography (CT). Results: Pre-stented patients had a higher prevalence of positive urine culture treated with preoperative antibiotics (23.8% vs 12.3%, p = 0.006). Larger stone volumes were noted (1,306 mm Conclusions: Pre-stenting for FANS is not mandatory irrespective of stone location and volume. The use of TFL and stone volume significantly influenced SFR, while FANS itself proved highly effective in achieving high SFR.
