Radiation exposure in flexible ureteroscopy with a flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath: A European Association of Urology-Endourology multicenter study.

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
Objective: We aimed to study the effect of flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) for renal stones using a flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath (FANS) on intraoperative radiation dose and time. Methods: This was a multicenter study of adults who underwent FURS with FANS. The correlation analysis was done to identify factors affecting radiation dose and time measured by the C-arm fluoroscopy intraoperatively. Results: We analyzed 110 patients, with a median age of 50 years. Of them, 72% were pre-stented prior to the procedure. The median stone volume was 1503 mm Conclusion: Our study is the first to highlight the multitude of factors affecting radiation exposure in FURS with FANS. Although not a direct measure of surgeons' actual exposure, it has important implications for the As Low As Reasonably Achievable principle which is commonly used to minimize radiation exposure to patients and operating room staff.
