Review in Current urology reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Preoperative nomograms offer systematic and quantitative methods to assess patient- and stone-related characteristics and their impact on successful treatment and potential risk of complication. Discrepancies in the correlation of perioperative variables to patient outcomes have led to the individual development, validation, and application of four independent scoring systems for the percutaneous nephrolithotomy: Guy's stone score, S.T.O.N.E. nephrolithometry, Clinical Research Office of the Endourology Society nomogram, and Seoul National University Renal Stone Complexity. The optimal nomogram should have high predictive ability, be practically integrated into clinical use, and be widely applicable to urinary stone disease. Herein, we seek to provide a contemporary evaluation of the advantages, disadvantages, and commonalities of each scoring system. While the current data is insufficient to conclude which scoring system is destined to become the gold standard, it is crucial that a nephrolithometric scoring system be incorporated into common practice to improve surgical planning, patient counseling, and outcome assessment.
