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

objectiveThe incidence of kidney stone disease (KSD) is rising worldwide; hence, more focus must be directed toward its etiology and risk factors. Increasing fluid intake is recommended as the most ideal prevention; yet, there is inconsistent evidence surrounding optimum volumes and types of fluid that affect stone formation. This review aimed to analyze the published literature on fluid intake and types of fluid consumed and their impact on KSD prevention. MATERIAL AND

methodsPapers were acquired from databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library. Included English language studies that involved adults consuming beverages along with a standardized diet in relation to KSD. Those failing to control dietary factors were excluded.

resultsAfter an initial search of 1099 papers, 9 (541 participants) were included in the final review. Six varieties of water and ten different types of juices were investigated. Higher fluid intake was associated with increased urine output and reduced stone formation. Water with high calcium content seemingly increased the rate of calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone formation. The relative supersaturation of CaOx in urine was decreased with grapefruit, apple, orange juices, and sodas, whereas cranberry juice increased it. Plum juice and the energy drink Gatorade had no effect on stone formation.

conclusionFluids low in calcium seem to reduce the risk of KSD. Certain varieties of fluid, such as grapefruit, apple, and orange juices reduce urine CaOx saturation, with a subsequent reduction in stone formation. Findings from this review could contribute to primary prevention for those at risk of KSD.
