Calcium oxalate monohydrate binding protein: a diagnostic biomarker for calcium oxalate kidney stone formers.
Article in Urological research, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Urinary oxalate is a biomarker for calcium oxalate kidney stone disease; however, its assay is insensitive and nonspecific. Calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) binding protein (45 kDa) is a promoter of calcium oxalate kidney disease, which is markedly upregulated by oxalate induced oxidative stress. The current study was carried out to evaluate whether COM binding protein can serve as a diagnostic marker for calcium oxalate kidney stone formers. COM binding protein was isolated, purified and antibody was raised against it in rabbits. Urine samples (24 h) were collected from patients suffering from various kidney diseases such as acute nephritis, chronic nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone formers, uric acid stone formers, struvite stone formers and calcium phosphate stone formers. This COM binding protein was quantified by an in house ELISA method and the excretion was found to lie between 2 and 3 mg in control samples, while in CaOx stone formers it was detected between 11 and 19 mg. Urinary risk factors were assayed. We conclude that COM binding protein can serve as a diagnostic marker for CaOx stone formers.
