Current clinical scoring systems of percutaneous nephrolithotomy outcomes.
Review in Nature reviews. Urology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy has become the preferred treatment modality for patients with large renal calculi. The technique provides excellent stone clearance, but complication rates are higher than those of minimally invasive techniques, such as ureteroscopy and shockwave lithotripsy. Guy's stone score, S.T.O.N.E. nephrolithometry, the CROES nomogram, and S-ReSC are contemporary scoring systems introduced to provide standardized grading of stone complexity and outcomes of percutaneous stone surgery. Guy's stone score is easy to apply and has been validated in multiple studies. The S.T.O.N.E. score is based on factors determined through CT imaging, which is the currently preferred imaging modality for patients with nephrolithiasis. The CROES nomogram was developed from data in a large multicentre database and has high statistical power. Determination of the S-ReSC score relies on stone location only, providing a simple approach to grading disease complexity. Each system has advantages and disadvantages, but several studies suggest that their ability to predict stone-free rate is comparable. The optimal system should have a high predictive ability, should be simple to use and should be widely applicable. Additional studies are required to evaluate patient clinical factors that influence stone complexity and are predictive of outcomes. A future unified scoring system might incorporate the strengths of each currently available system and optimize care of patients with nephrolithiasis.
