Outpatient versus inpatient flexible ureteroscopy with flexible and navigable suction access sheath: A multicenter comparative analysis of perioperative outcomes from the flexible and navigable access sheath collaborative study group.

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
Objective: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of outpatient versus inpatient flexible ureterorenoscopy (FURS) using the flexible and navigable suction access sheath (FANS). Methods: Conducted across 25 global centers between July 2023 and March 2024, this study included patients undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery stratified by surgical setting. All patients were counseled for FURS with FANS as an outpatient procedure unless otherwise planned earlier. The primary outcome was stone-free rate defined as zero residual fragments or a single fragment of ≤2 mm on a 30-day non-contrast CT scan. The secondary outcome was complication rates. Outpatient status applied to any patient observed for less than 24 h postoperatively. No fixed criteria were assigned for outpatient care. Results: Seven hundred and four patients were included, with 356 undergoing outpatient surgery and 348 receiving inpatient care. Operative, lasing, and ureteroscope times were significantly shorter in the outpatient group ( Conclusion: Outpatient FURS with FANS demonstrates excellent outcomes, with a low rate of minor complications. These findings support the broader adoption of outpatient RIRS in patients with kidney stones and normal renal anatomy, provided that patient selection and intraoperative planning are appropriately optimized.
