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

Patients with severe obesity have an increased risk of renal and ureteral calculi formation, and therefore, increased risk of associated complications. Despite the expanding number of people with obesity, there remains a dearth of scientific literature and training in navigating the associated limitations of our healthcare system. We present a case of a patient with severe, class III obesity (BMI 97) who was transferred to our tertiary care center for treatment of obstructive kidney stone disease. We highlight challenges in caring for our patient and discuss our approach and lessons learned for care of this vulnerable bariatric population.
