Can Doppler ultrasound reduce hemorrhagic complications in ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy for solitary kidney stones?

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
Purpose: To evaluate the role of Doppler ultrasound in reducing hemorrhagic events during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in solitary kidney calculi through a comparative analysis. Patients and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of urolithiasis patients who had undergone ultrasound-guided PCNL in our department from March 2021 to December 2024 and identified 76 eligible patients. Patients were stratified into two cohorts based on Doppler flow detection technology application: Group 1 (Doppler-mode, Results: No significant difference was found between the two groups regards to basic characteristics (gender, age, body mass index, stone size, pre-operative serum creatinine). The puncture time shows significant longer in Group 1 compared to Group 2 (173.1 ± 39.6 vs. 111.4 ± 29.9 s, Conclusion: Doppler flow technology fails to confer superior benefits in ultrasound-guided PCNL for solitary renal calculus, with no definitive necessity established for hemorrhage risk mitigation.
