Title: Factors influencing the cure of pseudolithiasis: A retrospective study of 264 patients
Version: 5 Date: 01 Feb 2025
Reviewer:  Shi-Yan Zhang
Reviewer's report:
The authors have thoroughly addressed the reviewers' comments and made corresponding
revisions, which have significantly improved the quality of the manuscript. However, while
the authors mentioned in their response to reviewers that histograms were used to confirm the
normality of data distribution, this information is not explicitly described in the manuscript itself.
Specifically, the "Statistical Analysis" section does not detail how the normality of the data was
assessed. To enhance the rigor and transparency of the statistical analysis, it is recommended
to include a brief description of the methods used to evaluate normality (e.g., histograms or Q-
Q plots) in the "Statistical Analysis" section. Additionally, providing histograms or Q-Q plots
as supplementary material would further strengthen the manuscript and provide visual evidence
supporting the assumption of normality.
