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

introductionUrinary calculi constitute a significant medical problem worldwide. Due to lack of previous studies on gender and side distribution of urinary calculi, the current study was conducted. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis retrospective study involved 590 urinary calculi from the electronic reports of 266 patients. Gender and side distribution were compared using Chi-square test. Relationship between gender and side of urinary calculi was analyzed using cross tabulation test.

resultsThis study involved 590 urinary calculi reported in 266 patients. Among 590 calculi; 565 (95.8%) were in adults, and 25 (4.2%) were in children. Urinary calculi were in male in 397 (67.3%) and in female in 193 (32.7%). Calculi were 304 (51.5%) in right side, and 286 (48.5%) in left side. Exactly 507 (85.9%) of calculi were in the kidneys, and 83 (14.1%) in the ureters. No significant relationship between gender and side of the calculi (

conclusionUrinary calculi affect male more than female and adults more than children. No significant relationship between calculi and right or left side of the body.
