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: Kidney stone is a universal health concern, with its incidence influenced by dietary habits. The Planetary Health Diet (PHD) benefits human health and the environment. Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between the Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI) and self-reported kidney stones and to explore the mediating role of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Methods: This study included 19,249 participants (≥20 years old) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007 to 2018. Kidney stone diagnoses were self-reported. Higher PHDI scores represented greater compliance with the PHD. The statistical analyses encompassed a weighted multivariable logistic regression model, restricted cubic spline curve analysis, mediation analyses, subgroup analysis, and sensitivity analysis. Results: In the fully adjusted model, each 10-point rise in PHDI was tied to an 8% decrease in self-reported kidney stone risk (OR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.87-0.97). Participants in the top quintile of PHDI had a 25% lower risk of self-reported kidney stones than those in the bottom quintile (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.58-0.96). HDL-C mediated 6.0% of the correlation between PHDI and self-reported kidney stones. Conclusion: Planetary Health Diet Index reduced the risk of self-reported kidney stones, with HDL-C partially mediating this effect.
