Dietary weight loss strategies for kidney stone patients.
Review in World journal of urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeOverweight has been associated with an increased risk of incident and recurrent kidney stone disease. Weight reduction is the therapeutic consequence to decrease the risk of stone formation. This review examines the effectiveness of different weight loss strategies on weight reduction and cardiometabolic risk profile, with a particular focus on risk factors for urolithiasis.
methodsA selective literature search was performed using PubMed and Cochrane library.
resultsClinical evidence for the potential benefits of dietary weight loss strategies for kidney stone disease is limited. A conventional, energy-restricted diet may significantly induce weight loss and reduce urinary supersaturation of calcium oxalate in overweight individuals with or without a history of stone formation. The current data indicate that an energy-restricted diet with partial meal replacement may additionally decrease the relative supersaturation of uric acid and further improve the cardiometabolic risk profile, and, thus, may be a favourable option for overweight kidney stone patients. Studies on the Mediterranean and DASH diets on the association between weight loss and the risk of urinary stone formation are lacking.
conclusionAn energy-restricted diet with or without meal replacement could be a promising weight loss strategy for overweight kidney stone patients. Further studies are needed to evaluate the impact of different weight loss strategies on urinary risk factors and cardiometabolic risk profile in urolithiasis.
