Helicobacter Pylori Infection as an Independent Risk Factor for Kidney Stone Formation in China: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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
Introduction: This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the relationship between Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection and kidney stone formation in China, given the high incidence of Hp infection and its potential to cause damage to multiple systems. Methods: Conducted at the Department of Health Management of Wuhan Union Hospital, the study included 48,294 hp-negative and 28,455 hp-positive individuals. Hp infection was detected using the 13C urea breath test (13C-UBT), and kidney stones were identified via urinary Doppler ultrasonography. Results: Results showed that Hp-negative (Hp-) individuals had higher levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), and uric acid compared to Hp-positive (Hp+) individuals, while Hp- patients had lower urine pH (P < 0.001). The prevalence of kidney stones was significantly higher in the Hp+ group. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses indicated that Hp infection is an independent risk factor for kidney stones (OR: 1.275, 95% CI: 1.219-1.333, P < 0.001) after adjusting for confounding factors such as age, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and lipid profiles. Conclusion: In conclusion, Helicobacter pylori infection is an independent risk factor for kidney stone development in China.
