Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Kidney Stones Based on Dose-Response Analyses Using Restricted Cubic Splines Applied to NHANES 2011-2016 Data.
Article in Journal of renal nutrition : the official journal of the Council on Renal Nutrition of the National Kidney Foundation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 objective of the study was to estimate the dose-response relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the self-reported prevalence of kidney stones based on a restricted cubic spline (RCS) method.
methodsThis cross-sectional study analyzed 13,223 adults aged ≥20 years who had participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey performed during 2011-2016. Kidney stones were identified using a standard questionnaire, and physical examinations were used to determine BMI. Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between BMI and the prevalence of kidney stones, with the dose-response relationship explored using RCSs.
resultsThe overall prevalence of kidney stones was 9.7%: 10.6% in males and 8.9% in females. After adjusting for potential confounders, compared with those with a BMI in quartile 1, the odds ratios of kidney stones among those with BMIs in quartiles 2, 3, and 4 were 1.45, 1.60, and 2.00, respectively (95% confidence interval = 1.21-1.75, 1.33-1.92, and 1.67-2.39; all P < .001). Multivariate RCS regression revealed that BMI was related to kidney stones in a nonlinear manner (P for nonlinearity <0.001). There was a significant positive relationship, with the curves being steeper when BMI was <28 kg/m
conclusionThis analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data has demonstrated that BMI is significantly associated with the prevalence of kidney stones.
