Urinary Tract Infectious Complications After Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery: The RIRS-STAMP Risk Score from a Two-Center Cohort.

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
introductionPostoperative infectious complications following retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) remain a significant clinical challenge due to their potential progression to sepsis. This study aimed to identify perioperative risk factors associated with infection and to develop a practical risk stratification model. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 1949 patients who underwent RIRS in two centers between 2014 and 2025 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were grouped according to irrigation method, and infectious outcomes including febrile urinary tract infection (UTI), sepsis, and septic shock were evaluated. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified independent predictors of postoperative infection.
resultsOverall, infectious complications occurred in 158 patients (8.1%), with no significant difference in total infection rates between the two groups. In the overall cohort, older age (OR 1.01; DISCUSSION: These findings highlight the multifactorial nature of infection risk after RIRS and emphasize the importance of both host factors and procedural dynamics in infection development. The RIRS-STAMP score was developed based on these findings.
conclusionsThe model can enable early identification of high-risk patients and supports individualized perioperative management; however, prospective external validation is required before routine clinical use.
