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

objectiveTo systematically evaluate the association between insulin resistance indices and the risk of kidney stones and their recurrence in U.S. non-diabetic individuals, while identifying predictive indicators. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study analyzed data from the 2007-2018 NHANES. Five IR indices were calculated. Weighted logistic regression, restricted cubic spline, and mediation analyses were used to assess the independent associations between these indices and the risk of kidney stones and recurrence in non-diabetic individuals.

resultThis study of 9,605 non-diabetic participants showed an overall kidney stones incidence of 8.63% and a recurrence rate of 2.70%. Weighted logistic regression and RCS analyses revealed significant positive associations between METs-IR, HOMA-IR, TyG-BMI, and the risk of kidney stones and their recurrence. Every unit increase in METs-IR was linked to a 2% rise in the incidence of kidney stones (95% CI: 1.014-1.027,

conclusionThis study found that elevated IR indices (METs-IR, HOMA-IR, TyG-BMI) significantly increased kidney stone risk in a non-diabetic population. Serum uric acid and vitamin D mediated this association, with METs-IR best predicting kidney stones incidence and recurrence.
