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

purposeTo evaluate the association of shock-wave lithotripsy (SWL) for kidney stones and hypertension or diabetes.

methodsPatients with urolithiasis treated by SWL were retrospectively identified. To assess whether shock-wave application to the kidney is associated with long-term adverse effects, patients after SWL for kidney stones were selected as the main group of interest. Patients treated with shock waves for distal ureter stones only were chosen as a comparison group. A questionnaire was sent to all patients to assess the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes. The Swiss Health Survey (SHS) dataset was used as an additional comparison group.

resultsAfter a median follow-up of 13.7 years, the odds ratio (OR) to report hypertension [OR 1.30 (95% CI 1.10-1.95)] or diabetes [OR 1.54 (95% CI 1.21-1.97)] was significantly higher in patients treated with SWL compared to the SHS dataset. In comparison with the kidney group, participants in the SHS had a significantly lower OR to report hypertension at follow-up [OR 0.79 (95% CI 0.65-0.95)], while the OR to report hypertension [1.16 (95% CI 0.79-1.70)] was not significantly different in the distal ureter group. For diabetes, a significantly lower [OR 0.60 (95% CI 0.46-0.78)] in the SHS group and a non-significantly lower [OR 0.68 (95% CI 0.38-1.22)] in the ureter group was noted compared to the kidney group.

conclusionCompared to the SHS data set SWL was in general associated with hypertension and diabetes. However, no clear difference between patients after SWL to the kidney compared to SWL to the distal ureter was seen and thus the data do not support a causal relationship.
