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

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and urolithiasis exhibit a complex bidirectional relationship in which microbial colonization and urinary obstruction may mutually reinforce each other. This retrospective observational study evaluated clinical and microbiological factors associated with UTI in patients with urolithiasis using a large institutional dataset. A total of 23,241 urine cultures obtained from 12,708 unique patients were analyzed, comparing individuals with and without urolithiasis. In stone-forming patients, demographic variables, urine pH, hydronephrosis, ureteral double J stent presence and indwelling duration, urinary anomalies, and stone characteristics were assessed. Logistic regression identified independent associations, and ROC analysis defined optimal risk thresholds. UTI were more frequent in the stone group (34.5%) compared with non-stone forming patients (28.9%,
