Risk factors for urosepsis following ureteroscopic lithotripsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review 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 5 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
Background: Ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) is the preferred treatment for urinary tract stones, with urosepsis being its most severe postoperative complication. Although previous studies have investigated risk factors for urosepsis after URSL, significant variations exist in reported risk factors and their associated odds ratios ( Methods: Case-control and cohort studies on factors influencing urosepsis after URSL were systematically retrieved from major public medical databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database, up to January 31, 2025. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction, quality assessment, and meta-analysis using Stata versions 15.1 and 18.0. Results: A total of 26 studies were included in this analysis, comprising 12,394 patients, of whom 861 patients developed urosepsis. The influencing factors for urosepsis included stone size[OR = 3.10, 95% CI (1.20,8.00), Conclusion: Urosepsis following URSL is associated with a high mortality rate and significantly threatens patient safety and quality of life. Early identification of the factors influencing urosepsis is crucial to reduce its incidence and improve patient outcomes. Systematic Review Registration: PROSPERO CRD42025641787.
