Obesity and urolithiasis: evidence of regional influences.

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
There is evidence that obese patients have an increased risk of renal stone formation, although this relationship could be less evident in some populations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of overweight and obesity on the risk of renal stone formation in a population consuming a Mediterranean diet and to better elucidate the mechanisms underlying the increased risk of urolithiasis observed in obese subjects. We performed a retrospective review of 1698 stone forming patients (mean age 45.9 ± 14.6 years; 984/714 M/F), attending outpatient stone clinics in Milan and Florence, seen between January 1986 and June 2014. Records were reviewed and data collected pertaining to age, gender, weight, height, stone composition, association with diabetes type 2 or gout and metabolic profile of 24-h urine to perform a descriptive study. We estimated prevalence ratios for body mass index (BMI) categories (underweight: BMI <18.5, normal: BMI 18.5-24.9, overweight: BMI 25-29.9 and obese ≥30). Overweight and obesity were present in 40.7 and 8 % of the men and in 19.9 and 8.7 % of the women in the study population. The mean BMI of patients with urolithiasis was found to be 24.5 ± 7.5 kg/m
