Quadruple-D score in the success rate of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of renal stones in pediatric population.
Article in Urolithiasis, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesEvaluation of the validity of the Quadruple-D score in the prediction of success in pediatric stone disease. MATERIALS AND
methodsOf the 292 children treated with SWL between 2007 and 2023, a total of 158 children who had adequate follow-up data and evaluated with non-contrast computed tomography before SWL, were included in the study. Parameters were calculated for each of the stone volume (SV), skin-to-stone distance (SSD), stone density (SD) and stone location (SL) variables. Receiver operator characteristic analysis was used to set cut-off values. Quadruple-D scores were calculated, and success rates were determined for each score. Stone-free status was determined as complete clearance after three months of final SWL.
resultsThe median age of the study group was 8 (range 1 to 16). One hundred and one of the 158 (64%) children had stone-free status. Mean SV, SSD and SD values were significantly higher in SWL failed group than stone-free group after detecting cutoff values of 150 mm
conclusionsQuadruple-D scoring system can further improve Triple-D scoring system by adding stone position parameter to clarify SFR with a simple and easy calculation. We believe that the Quadruple-D score will have better clinical significance than the Triple-D scoring system in predicting the success of SWL in children.
