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

Urolithiasis is a significant social and financial problem. According to contemporary literature data, 1-5% of the global population suffers from urolithiasis. The prevalence of this disease is about 10% of the population of the Republic of Moldova. Scientific and practical researches in the field of urology, and especially those devoted to renal lithiasis, focus on the diagnosis and treatment process, giving little importance to the cause of formation, metabolic disturbances, and especially to prophylaxis and metaphylaxis of the disease recurrence. However, the impact of this disease may be diminished by specialized or general metaphylaxis treatment. The article presents results of the analysis of different methods of metaphylaxis of recurrent urolithiasis. The implementation of metaphylaxis measures significantly reduces the rate and risk of recurrence in patients with recurrent urolithiasis. Specialized metaphylaxis treatment reduces the risk of lithiasis recurrence 5 times and general metaphylaxis - 2 times compared to the lack of metaphylaxis, which requires this treatment to prevent the recurrence of urolithiasis.
