First experience with a novel miniaturized paediatric flexible ureteroscope for RIRS: A case report.
Article in Urology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Paediatric retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is a safe and effective option for managing renal calculi in children, offering high stone clearance with minimal complications. Technological advances, especially in miniaturized flexible ureteroscopes, have improved its feasibility in paediatric patients. However, challenges remain due to smaller pelvicalyceal systems and shorter urethral lengths. To address this, we conceptualized a novel paediatric flexible ureteroscope with a reduced shaft length, shorter bendable tip, and optimally sized working channel to enhance access and facilitate laser lithotripsy. This report presents the first global clinical experience with this innovative device, which may revolutionize paediatric RIRS for urologists worldwide.
