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
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical application effect of the operating room nurse-coordinated irrigation-fluid safety management protocol in transurethral ureteropyelolithotomy (URS). A single-center retrospective cohort study design was adopted. The implementation date of the protocol, January 1, 2024, was used as the cutoff point. A total of 173 patients who underwent URS from June 2023 to June 2025 were divided into 2 groups: a control group (n = 85, conventional management) and an intervention group (n = 88, standardized irrigation-fluid safety management). Baseline data, irrigation fluid management process indicators (intrarenal pelvic pressure, temperature compliance rate, and early warning execution), postoperative complications (infection-related and hyponatremia), surgical efficiency (operative time and irrigation fluid volume), and postoperative recovery (length of hospital stay) were compared between the 2 groups. No statistically significant differences were observed in the measured baseline characteristics (all P > .05), although residual and unmeasured confounding cannot be excluded. Compared with the historical control cohort, the postimplementation cohort had lower recorded irrigation-system pressure values (24.0 [20.0, 28.0] vs 42.5 [35.0, 50.0] mm Hg, P < .001) and shorter documented above-threshold exposure (5.0 [2.0, 10.0] minutes vs prolonged exposure during the procedure, P < .001). The postimplementation cohort also had lower incidences of postoperative high fever (>38.5°C) (4.5% vs 14.1%, P = .027) and hyponatremia (2.3% vs 10.6%, P = .027), shorter operative time (55.0 [45.0, 70.0] vs 65.0 [50.0, 85.0] minutes, P = .004], lower irrigation fluid volume and estimated absorption volume (15.0 [12.0, 20.0] vs 18.5 [15.0, 25.0] L, P < .001; 150 [50, 300] vs 450 [200, 850] mL, P < .001), and shorter postoperative hospital stay (3.0 [2.0, 4.0] vs 4.0 [3.0, 5.0] days, P < .001). These findings represent associations in a nonrandomized before- and after-comparison. The operating room nurse-coordinated irrigation-fluid safety management protocol can effectively reduce intrarenal pelvic pressure and irrigation fluid absorption during URS, thereby significantly reducing the risk of postoperative infection and hyponatremia, while improving surgical efficiency and promoting postoperative recovery. It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
