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

Background: Urinary stone disease (USD) encompasses kidney stones, ureteral stones, bladder stones, and urethral calculi. This study systematically assesses the correlation between dietary factors, lifestyle, and the risk of adult USD, while also exploring relevant clinical intervention measures. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases, including the Chinese Biomedical Databases (CBM), Wanfang Database, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Full-text Database, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, and PubMed, to identify correlation and multivariate analyses regarding the risk of adult urolithiasis. Two researchers independently retrieved data and assessed the risk of bias for each included study using the Cochrane Handbook 5.3 standards. Results: Following the Meta-Analyses of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE), six studies were included, with a total sample size of 3,500 participants. Among these studies, three reported a correlation between age and the risk of adult urolithiasis (Chi Conclusions: Identified risk factors for USD include advanced age, a family history of urolithiasis, high intake of animal protein and fat, insufficient daily water consumption, and reduced intake of vinegar and legumes. To validate these correlations, future research should focus on longer intervention durations and improved methodological quality.
