A systematic search was performed in Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library for articles published before March 2016. Twenty-six studies with 2775 patients were included. The primary outcome was the number of patients with successful stone expulsion. The data were subdivided into three groups according to duration of follow-up. A standard network model was established in each subgroup. In 15-day follow-up results, SUCRA outcome showed the ranking of effects was: doxazosin\u2009&gt;\u2009tamsulosin\u2009&gt;\u2009rowatinex\u2009&gt;\u2009nifedipine\u2009&gt;\u2009terazosin (88.6, 77.4, 58.6, 32.2 and 30.4, respectively). In 45-day follow-up results, SUCRA ranking was: tamsulosin\u2009&gt;\u2009nifedipine\u2009&gt;\u2009rowatinex (69.4, 67.2 and 62.6, respectively). In 90-day follow-up results, SUCRA ranking was: doxazosin\u2009&gt;\u2009rowatinex\u2009&gt;\u2009tamsulosin (84.1, 68.1 and 49.1, respectively). In conclusion, doxazosin and tamsulosin have potential to be the first choice for pharmacological therapy to promote the expulsion of urinary stone fragments after ESWL, with this doxazosin can improve the SFR in the long term, while tamsulosin may result more in accelerating the process of expulsion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-017-14862-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,25]],"date-time":"2017-10-25T10:18:34Z","timestamp":1508926714000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["A network meta-analysis on the beneficial effect of medical expulsive therapy after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Tong-Xin","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bang-Hua","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yun-Tian","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qing","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qin-Yu","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kun-Jie","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"14862_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"474","DOI":"10.1159\/000019786","volume":"34","author":"B Kupeli","year":"1998","unstructured":"Kupeli, B. et al.
