Ureteroscopy in pediatric urolithiasis: techniques, challenges, and outcomes.
Review in World journal of urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposePediatric ureterorenoscopy (URS) has gained a prominent role in the management of pediatric urolithiasis, reflecting significant technological advances and growing clinical experience. The aim of this manuscript is to provide an overview regarding the literature on pediatric URS.
methodsA narrative synthesis was performed based on the literature review on indications for pediatric URS, the scope armamentarium, auxiliary equipments, emerging laser alternatives, surgical technique, access and exit strategies.
resultsWith advancements in miniaturized ureteroscopes and ancillary equipment, URS has become increasingly feasible, effective and safe in pediatric patients, including those under five years of age. Current guidelines recommend URS as the first-line treatment option for distal ureteral stones and renal pelvis stones sized 10–20 mm. Promising results are shown in the literature for fluoroscopy-free URS in children.
conclusionsFurther research is required focusing the long-term outcomes of pediatric URS as well as the effect of novel ureteroscopes, lasers, and ancillary instruments on surgical efficacy.
