  1. 1Some studies have sample size overlaps: The sample size of Reference 47 is included in Reference 48; The sample size of Reference 6 is included in Reference 14; The sample size of Reference 11 is included in Reference 13, and they are all included in Reference 41
  2. 2The type of lithotripter is represented by company name and machine model
  3. 3 GA: general anaesthesia; IA: intravenous anaesthesia; EA: epidural anaesthesia; WOA: without anaesthesia
  4. 4Only energy level settings are available in studies, and specific energy parameters are unknown
  5. 5 “adjusted to the individual” means energy level or number of shock waves are tailored to the individual pain tolerance of the patient
