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

The present study examines the urinary chemical parameters related to urolithiasis in healthy female volunteers during premenopause and menopause, and discusses the role of menopause in stone formation. We investigated 24-h urine parameters associated with urinary stones and focused upon estrus status. Participants comprised 30 healthy women, 15 childless, premenopausal women and 15 menopausal women without a history of urolithiasis. Our results showed that menopausal women have lower citrate and higher calcium excretion, which might enhance calcium stone crystallization. We propose that the estrus status of female patients should be considered when evaluating metabolic abnormalities.
