Metabolic and demographic characteristics of children with urolithiasis in Western Turkey.

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
Pediatric urolithiasis is an endemic disease in Turkey. We evaluated the clinical, radiological and metabolic features of children with urolithiasis in Western Turkey. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 85 children with urolithiasis who were followed-up between 2004 and 2010 in Pediatric Nephrology Department of Celal Bayar University, Manisa. The male/female ratio was 1.23/1. The mean age at diagnosis was 66.1 months (range 3-210 months). Family history of urolithiasis was found in 58 (68.2%) patients. 23 (27%) patients were born from consanguineous marriages. Stones were located in the upper urinary tract in 79 (92.9%) patients. In 66 (77.6%) patients, stones were single-sided and 41 (48.2%) patients had multiple stones. Calcium oxalate stones were the most common one among patients in whom stone analysis was performed (78.5%). Hypocitraturia was the most commonly detected urinary metabolic risk factor. In patients who were under 12 months of age at diagnosis, hypercalciuria was the most commonly seen urinary metabolic risk factor. At the end of follow-up period, 24 patients became free of stone disease and 4 patients had recurrence. In conclusion, metabolic abnormalities are common in pediatric stone patients and are strongly associated with recurrence. Considering that urolithiasis in children is an important risk factor for renal failure, early diagnosis, detailed metabolic evaluation and implementing appropriate treatment and follow-up protocols may prevent recurrence and renal damage.
