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

backgroundMetabolic and bariatric surgery is an effective intervention for severe obesity, known for improving comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. However, its association with kidney stone formation remains uncertain. This study investigates the relationship between bariatric surgery and kidney stone prevalence using data from NHANES 2015-2018.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 8,087 participants from NHANES (2015-2018). Bariatric surgery and kidney stone history were self-reported. Logistic regression models adjusted for demographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors were used to evaluate associations. Stratified analyses explored effect modification by subgroups.

resultsKidney stones were more prevalent among participants with bariatric surgery (26.57%) compared to those without (10.92%, P < 0.001). Bariatric surgery was associated with increased odds of kidney stones in the crude model (OR: 2.95, 95% CI: 1.57-5.55) and adjusted models (OR: 2.69, 95% CI: 1.27-5.70). Subgroup analyses highlighted stronger associations among females and participants with moderate physical activity.

conclusionMetabolic and bariatric surgery is linked to an elevated risk of kidney stones, influenced by demographic and clinical factors. Personalized counseling on hydration and dietary modifications is essential for mitigating this risk.
