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

Purpose: To systematically evaluate the safety boundaries of holmium laser application during ureteroscopy by quantifying thermal dose and to explore the detailed repair mechanisms of the ureter and kidneys following injury. Methods: Twelve female piglets were selected. Key variables included holmium laser power, irrigation flow rates (0, 7.5, 15 mL min Results: At an irrigation flow rate of 15 mL min Conclusion: Sufficient irrigation is critical to maintain thermal safety. While thermal exposure induces fibrotic changes driven by macrophage polarization, mechanical injury extent (≥3/4 circumference) appears to be the dominant predictor for the formation of ureteral stricture. These findings emphasize the importance of maintaining high-flow irrigation and minimizing extensive circumferential damage during surgery.
