Associations of Total Protein or Animal Protein Intake and Animal Protein Sources with Risk of Kidney Stones: A Systematic Review and Dose-Response Meta-Analysis.

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
We conducted the present systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association of total protein, animal protein, and animal protein sources with risk of kidney stones in the general population. A literature search was performed in PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and EMBASE up to July 2021. We assessed the credibility of evidence based on NutriGrade scoring system. A total of 14 prospective cohort studies were included. A positive association was observed between higher intake of nondairy animal protein (RR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.03, 1.20; I2 = 0%, n = 4), total meat and meat products (RR: 1.22; 95% CI: 1.09, 1.38; I2 = 13%, n = 3), and processed meat (RR: 1.29; 95% CI: 1.10, 1.51; I2 = 0%, n = 2) with risk of kidney stones. There was an inverse association between higher intake of dairy protein and risk of kidney stones (RR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.84, 0.99; I2 = 0%, n = 4). Moreover, each 100-gincrement of red meat intake was significantly associated with increased risk of kidney stones (RR: 1.39; 95% CI: 1.13, 1.71). According to the NutriGrade scoring system, the credibility of evidence for most of the exposures was rated as low. We found some kind of publication bias in the association of animal protein intake and risk of kidney stones, according to Egger's and Begg's tests. In the sensitivity analysis of processed meat as well as dairy consumption with risk of kidney stones we observed in each individual analysis, 1 study changed the overall estimate. Further observational studies are needed to confirm the present results. The protocol of the present study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) database (CRD42021230125: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO).
