Reviewer:  Shi-Yan Zhang
Reviewer's report:
1. Title: Consider adding a colon or em dash to separate the main title from the subtitle for better
readability. Additionally, the title should not end with punctuation such as period. Suggested
title : “Factors influencing the cure of pseudolithiasis: A retrospective study of 264 patients.”
2. Ensure uniform capitalization for the institution's name.
3. Minor Typographical Error in Abstract: Add a space between "Among264."
4. The manuscript mentions using the Shapiro-Wilk test in the statistical analysis section but
does not include the test results in the results section.
5. Tables:
(1). Units and Abbreviations: Define all units and abbreviations in the table footnotes. For
instance, in Table 1, "Age (years)*" should have an asterisk explained in a footnote.  AST, ALT,
WBC...
(2). Table headers could be more descriptive for standalone clarity (e.g., "Table 1" should
explicitly mention it compares characteristics between groups).
(4). Duplicate Titles: Both Table 2 and Table 3 are titled "Multifactorial Logistic Regression
Analysis of Prognosis in Pseudolithiasis." , differentiate them.
(5). Decimal Places: Maintain consistent decimal places across similar variables. For example,
"Age (years)*" in Table 1 shows two or three decimal places, while other variables like "WBC
count" show three. Spacing and Alignment: Ensure uniform spacing around symbols (e.g., #²)
and proper alignment of numerical data for readability. Years retaining three decimal places is
scientifically unnecessary.
