Obesity-related indices and its association with kidney stone disease: a cross-sectional and longitudinal cohort study.
Article in Urolithiasis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 60 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Obesity increases the risk of several diseases, including kidney stone disease (KSD). The study aimed to explore the relationship between KSD and various obesity-related indices. A total of 121,605 participants in the Taiwan Biobank from December 2008 to February 2020 were analyzed. The association between self-reported history of KSD and eight obesity-related indices, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), abdominal volume index (AVI), body roundness index (BRI), conicity index, and triglyceride glucose index was examined in cross-sectional analysis; additionally, the risk of developing kidney stones was analyzed in a longitudinal cohort of 25,268 participants without KSD at baseline, which was a subset of the main cohort. Of all participants, 77,904 (64.1%) were female. Overall, 10.7% of males and 4.0% of females had KSD. Multivariate-adjusted logistic regression showed that all obesity-related indices were significantly associated with KSD. During a mean follow-up of 47 months, kidney stones occurred in 642 (2.5%) participants, and after adjusting for confounders, the risk of developing kidney stones was higher in participants with higher BMI, WC, WHtR, WHR, AVI and BRI. BMI, WC, WHtR, WHR, AVI, and BRI were found to be associated with a higher prevalence of kidney stones as well as development of incident kidney stones, which could be used as predictive factors for development of KSD in clinical practice.
