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

purposeIntrarenal pressure monitoring is emerging as an important tool in flexible ureteroscopy. Novel non-invasive intrarenal pressure monitoring devices are introduced. We evaluated the pressure readings simultaneously across four novel non-invasive intrarenal pressure monitoring devices against the urodynamic system. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwo IRP monitoring single-use flexible ureteroscopy: LithoVue Elite

resultsThe degree of agreement between measurements from urodynamic system and the experimented device was demonstrated by Bland-Altman plots and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Compared to the urodynamic system, the average difference ± standard deviation of LithoVue Elite™ was 0.26 ± 1.75mmHg; ZebraScope™ 3.22 ± 1.86mHg, i-MIMERsys™ 0.96 ± 2.26mmhg; Tidor™ 1.09 ± 2.57mmHg. Pressure measured by LithoVue Elite™, ZebraScope™, i-MIMERsys™ and Tidor™ to urodynamic system showed excellent ICCs of 0.975 (p < 0.001), 0.915(p = 0.016), 0.955(p < 0.001) and 0.937(p < 0.001) respectively.
