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

Renal parenchyma thickness and hydronephrosis degree may predict stone-free rate (SFR) after lithotripsy. This study combined these factors and introduced a new index, the ratio of renal parenchymal volume to renal volume (RPRV) to investigate its prediction role of SFR after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). We collected data from 119 adult patients with upper ureteral or kidney stones who underwent RIRS from March to September 2023. They were divided into stone-free group (n = 85, 71.43%) and residual stone group. Multivariate logistic regression analyzed the relationship between RPRV and SFR. ROC curve analyzed the predictive efficacy of RPRV. Among the 119 patients, there was a difference in RPRV between the two group (P = 0.002). In overall sample, AUC of RPRV for predicting SFR after RIRS is 0.678 (cut-off value: 0.6890, sensitivity: 95.3%; specificity: 41.2%; P = 0.002). In the 2-2.9 cm group multivariate logistic regression analysis is statistically significant (OR 0.847, 95% CI 0.761-0.942, P = 0.002), with an AUC of 0.769 (cut-off value: 0.6887; sensitivity: 97.8%; specificity: 58.8%; P = 0.001). In the 3-4 cm stone group, no significant difference. RPRV is effective in predicting SFR after RIRS and has clinical guiding significance.
