Nephrolithiasis in elderly population; effect of demographic characteristics.
Article in Journal of nephropathology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundKidney stone (nephrolithiasis) is one of the most common diseases. During the past several decades, its prevalence and incidence have increased markedly in elderly population.
objectivesThis study was conducted to evaluate the risk factors for nephrolithiasis in elderly population. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis study was based on the Amirkola Health and Ageing Project (AHAP). Elderly people with kidney stones in every size, type and number were considered to be the case group and other subjects without a history of kidney stones served as control group. Demographic and anthropometric data, smoking, diabetes and metabolic syndrome (MetS), calcium (Ca), vitamin D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), uric acid and urine pH were compared in both groups.
resultsIn this study, 1390 elderly people with the mean age of 69.37 ± 7.42 years were evaluated which 202 (14.53%) cases had renal stones. The patients with nephrolithiasis were younger (
conclusionsThis study suggests that male gender, obesity and age <75 years might be independent risk factors for the development of nephrolithiasis. Hence, low animal protein intake and weight reduction should be included as part of the counseling of senior stone-formers.
