First Step to Equity and Organization in Waiting Lines for Stone Surgery. Translation of Prioritization Scores.

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
purposeThe use of patient prioritization tools is one of several methods to enhance the management of waiting times for elective surgeries. Developing these tools specifically for urinary stones in the Brazilian context may enhance queue management and increase patient satisfaction. This study aims to adapt two previously published scores, the WCWL (Western Canada Waiting List - general criteria) and the SCQ-score (specific to urinary stone criteria), into Brazilian Portuguese. MATERIALS AND
methodsOur study adhered to established protocols for the cross-cultural adaptation and translation of health-related questionnaires. The process for translating both original scores involved four steps: initial translation, back-translation, committee review, and pre-testing. The translations were conducted by professionals proficient in the relevant languages. The pre-test phase engaged eight endourologists who applied the translated versions of the scores to twelve hypothetical patient cases.
resultsOur study successfully produced Brazilian Portuguese versions of the SCQ and WCWL scores. During the pre-testing, these scores were found to be quick to perform (with an average completion time of 1 minute and 35 seconds) and were deemed easy to understand and use by the endourologists. However, there was a concern regarding the practical utility and interpretability of the WCWL score due to its more generalized criteria.
conclusionWe successfully developed the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Western Canada Waiting List and SCQ-score. This development will allow further studies to evaluate the impact of their use within the Brazilian healthcare environment.
