ESWL probably leads to lower complications MCID: 3% absolute difference compared with PCNL (moderate certainty).
ESWL may leads to higher retreatment rate MCID: 3% absolute difference compared with PCNL (low certainty).
ESWL probably leads to higher auxiliary procedures rate MCID: 3% absolute difference compared with PCNL (moderate certainty).
ESWL may leads to lower treatment success rate at 3 months MCID: 5% absolute difference compared with RIRS (low certainty).
It is very uncertain whether ESWL changes complications MCID: 3% absolute difference compared with RIRS (very low certainty).
