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

Growing evidence has assigned to oxalate a pivotal role in calcium nephrolithiasis pathophysiology. A better understanding of the mechanisms behind intestinal absorption and renal excretion has led to the identification of new treatments. Among these, diet and probiotics appear promising in terms of safety and rationale. However, the discrepancy between in vitro and in vivo results requires further studies to identify the right patient target, the correct dosage, and the real modification of natural and clinical history of nephrolithiasis.
