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

objectivesTo characterize the endoscopic visual appearance of the collecting system during ureteroscopy in a porcine in vivo model across a range of steady state intrarenal pressures (IRPs). MATERIALS AND

methodsA flexible ureteroscope with pressure sensor was advanced into the renal pelvis of anaesthetised female porcine subjects. Endoscopic images were captured at IRPs from 8 to 200 cmH

resultsThe collecting system was ID at IRP < 12 cmH

conclusionPrevention of elevated IRP during ureteroscopy has become increasingly important. Although visual cues associated with the changing morphology of PD of the collecting system can provide some guidance during ureteroscopy, they occur in a narrow pressure range (12-23 cmH
