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

objectiveTo inform the development of strategies to improve adherence to guidelines, we sought to identify characteristics of pediatric patients with nephrolithiasis associated with completing 24-hour urine analyses. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of patients with nephrolithiasis aged 3-18years treated in a large pediatric healthcare system from May 2012 to May 2017. Multivariable Cox models were fit to estimate the association between patient characteristics and completion of a 24-hour urine analysis.

resultsAmong 623 patients, 317 (50.9%) completed a 24-hour urine collection. Median age was 14.4years (interquartile range [IQR] 10.5, 16.3). In adjusted analyses, age at diagnosis (hazard ratio [HR] 1.03; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.07), renal colic on presentation (HR 1.72; 95% CI 1.15-2.58), and family history of nephrolithiasis (HR 1.50; 95% CI 1.17-1.93) were associated with an increased likelihood of completion of a 24-hour urine. Public/government assistance insurance (HR 0.68; 95% CI 0.48-0.96) was associated with decreased likelihood of completing a 24-hour urine.

conclusionPatients who had prior painful experiences with stones (renal colic), and potential better understanding of nephrolithiasis (family history, older age on presentation) were more likely to complete a 24-hour urine. Those patients with public insurance/government assistance were less likely to complete a 24-hour urine. These results can be used to develop strategies to improve pediatric patients' adherence to completing 24-hour urine collections.
