Evaluation of the composition of urinary tract stones in children from the Inner Western Anatolian Region in Turkey.
Article in Turkish journal of urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
objectivePediatric urolithiasis is a globally growing problem. The composition and frequency of urinary tract stones vary not only among different countries, but across various regions in a country. Hence, we aimed to identify the types and frequencies of urinary tract stones in children from our region (Inner Western Anatolian part of Turkey), and to compare our findings with the results from other regions in our country. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn this retrospective analysis of 53 pediatric urolithiasis cases that were treated in our hospital between 2009 and 2019, the demographic data, clinical course, radiological and metabolic findings, the recurrence rate, and the composition of the stones were evaluated.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 5.9±4.6 (0.5-18) years, and there were 30 (56.6%) girls and 23 (43.4%) boys. An analysis of the composition of the stones revealed that the majority (85%) consisted of calcium oxalate. The highest risk of recurrence and the need for multiple shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) sessions or surgical intervention appeared to be related with the presence of whewellite stones, which are the most challenging stones in childhood.
conclusionAccording the study results, the urinary stone types vary across different regions in our country, and the frequency of uric acid stones decreased going westward, while the frequency of oxalate stones increased. We conclude that this difference in the frequency of the type of urinary stones might reflect the regional dietary habits. Regional frequency and etiology studies for the types of urolithiasis may facilitate the approach to the treatment of urolithiasis.
