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

purposeIt is critical to provide patients with accurate information on potential surgical outcomes during the preoperative phase. Several scoring systems have been developed for this specific purpose. This study aimed to examine the predicted efficacy of scoring systems in patients with isolated lower calyx stones who underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS).

methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of 85 patients who underwent RIRS for lower calyx stones between 2016 and 2023. The study computed each participant's Resorlu-Unsal Stone score (RUSS), R.I.R.S. scoring system score, Modified Seoul National University Renal Stone Complexity (S-ReSC) score, S.T.O.N.E. score, Ito's nomogram, and T.O.HO score. Residual stones less than 4 mm were classified as clinically insignificant residual fragments (CIRFs) and regarded as successful. Following that, we used receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves to compare various scoring systems' success predictions.

resultsThe median scores for RUSS, R.I.R.S. scoring system, Modified S-ReSC, S.T.O.N.E., Ito's nomogram, and T.O.HO score were 1 (1), 7 (2), 2 (0), 11 (1), 18 (4), and 7 (1), respectively. When CIRF cases were included, the stone-free rate increased to 80%. Only Ito's nomogram from scoring systems has a statistically significant cut-off value for success in ROC analysis (p = 0.021). In multivariate analysis, stone volume and preoperative hydronephrosis were associated with success (p = 0.004 and p = 0.035, respectively).

conclusionIn the multivariate analysis, none of the scoring systems were significantly associated with success. Hence, a new scoring system must be developed exclusively for patients with isolated lower pole stones undergoing RIRS.
