Comparison of STONE Score, Guy's Stone Score, CROES Nomogram, and Seoul National University Renal Stone Complexity Score in Prognosticating Outcomes of Multiple-Tract Mini-Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Objective The objective of this study was to compare the STONE score (Size of the stone, Topography or location, degree of Obstruction of the urinary system, Number of stones, and Evaluation of Hounsfield units), Guy's stone score (GSS), Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society (CROES) nomogram, and Seoul National University Renal Stone Complexity Score (RSCS) in prognosticating multiple tract mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) outcome. Methodology This descriptive retrospective analysis was carried out at the Urology Department, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan. Male and female patients in the age range of 18-70 years who underwent multiple tract mPCNL for renal stones from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2023, were included in the analysis. Results A total of 110 patients were registered. Stone-free status (SFS) was achieved in 78.2% (n=86), and complications were observed in 13.6% (n=15) patients. The odds ratio for STONE score, GSS, CROES scoring system, and RSCS for predicting the SFS was 7.093 (95%CI 2.40-20.89), 9.333 (95%CI 2.92-29.81), 11.70 (95%CI 2.56-53.38) and 3.450 (95%CI 1.25-9.53), respectively. Conclusion Multiple tract mPCNL is a safe and effective technique for the management of renal stones, producing a high stone-free rate. This study demonstrated adequate efficacy and dependability of the four scoring systems in predicting SFS.
