Clinical correlation of gallstone disease in a Chinese population in Taiwan: experience at Cheng Hsin General Hospital.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
aimTo explore the prevalence of gallstone disease (GSD) in Taiwan and condition-associated factors related to it.
methodsWe studied a total of 2386 healthy adults (1235 males and 1151 females) voluntarily admitted to Cheng Hsin General Hospital for a paid physical check-up between January 2002 and December 2002. Blood samples and ultrasound sonography results were collected.
resultsThe overall prevalence of GSD among this study-population was 5.3%, including 1.7% (n=40) having a single stone, 2.3% (n=55) having multiple stones, and 1.3% (n=31) having cholecystectomy. The prevalence revealed a statistically significant increase with increasing age (P<0.0001). Females exhibited a greater prevalence of multiple stones than did males (3.0% vs 1.7%, P=0.04). Using multiple logistic regression analysis, the following appeared to be significantly related to the prevalence of GSD: older age (40-49 years vs < 40 years, OR=1.63 [95% CI: 0.76-3.48], 50-59 years vs < 40 years, OR=4.93 [95% CI: 2.43-9.99], 60-69 years vs < 40 years, OR=6.82 [95% CI: 3.19-14.60], > or = 70 years vs < 40 years, OR=10.65 [95% CI: 4.78-23.73]), higher BMI (> or = 27 kg/m2 vs < 24 kg/m2, adjusted OR=1.74 [95% CI: 1.04-2.88]), and higher FPG (> or = 126 mg/dL vs < 110 mg/dL, OR=1.71, 95%CI: 1.01-2.96).
conclusionOlder age (> or = 50 years), obesity (BMI > or = 27 kg/m2), and type 2 diabetes (FPG > or = 126 mg/dL) are associated with the prevalence of GSD.
