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

purpose of reviewThe aim of this review is to explore the effect of the microbiome on urolithiasis and explore recent advances and challenges in microbiome research for urolithiasis. RECENT

findingsLack of standardization and shortcomings in study design for urinary microbiome research on urolithiasis has hampered the generalizability of results and weakened the impact of findings on clinical practice. Important study limitations include sample heterogenicity, specimen contamination, poor culture yields, and lack of shared datasets for meta-analysis. Contrary to traditional teaching, the genitourinary tract is not a sterile environment. This urinary microbiome may influence the pathogenesis of urolithiasis, although the specific mechanisms are still currently being explored. Successful investigation will depend on consistency in study design and analysis, as well as sharing data and protocols across institutions. Developing an understanding of the relationship between the urinary microbiome and urolithiasis may lead to novel approaches to mitigate stone risk.
