1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of stone fragmentation and aspiration of dust and small stone particles via a direct-in-scope suction (DISS) system using a novel single-use flexible cystoscope (PC200, Pusen Medical Technology, Guangdon, China) in a straight position and with extreme bending. Material and methods: An Results: Laser lithotripsy was successfully completed in all trials. Stone fragmentation and aspiration were faster in the first set of trials with the cystoscope in a straight position. In the second set, to access the anterior-wall "diverticulum", continuous suction and irrigation were employed. After lithotripsy, the stone fragments were effectively flushed from the simulated diverticulum into the main bladder cavity. Conclusions: Bladder stone lithotripsy using a flexible cystoscope with DISS is feasible. The DISS system offers several advantages, including improved visibility through simultaneous fluid and dust aspiration, as well as enhanced maneuverability of the scope due to suction-assisted positioning.
