Innersight, a novel software for the formation of preoperative CT-based 3D models for the treatment of lithiasis: does it really help? A pilot study.
Article in World journal of urology, 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
purposeTo present our experience with a newly introduced software for the creation of three-dimensional (3D) models based on the preoperative computed tomography urography (CTU) for renal stone management.
methodsA retrospective study including patients planned for surgical management of renal stones was conducted. All patients underwent preoperative CTU, and 3D models were subsequently generated based on the imaging data with the use of Innersight software (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany). The 3D models provided information on the stone position, pelvicalyceal system, vessels and adjacent structures. The intra- and postoperative outcomes, as well as the stone-free status one month postoperatively, were recorded.
resultsTwenty-one patients were included in the study, 8 males (38%) and 13 females (62%). The median age, weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) were 56 years (range 22-76), 79 kg (range 54-99) and 27.85 kg/m
conclusionInnersight software seems to be a valuable tool for the pre-operative planning and management of urolithiasis. Despite the promising results of the present study, further clinical evaluation that would confirm our findings is deemed necessary.
