Do dietary factors play a role in infantile urolithiasis?
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundUrolithiasis is a significant cause of morbidity that may be diagnosed at a young age. However, there is little research on the role of nutrition in pediatric urolithiasis, and research on the infantile period is extremely rare. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of dietary factors on those diagnosed with "idiopathic" infantile urolithiasis.
methodThe study group included 44 infants without a proven etiological factor for urolithiasis. The control group consisted of 60 fully healthy infants of matched age and gender. The parents and caregivers of each infant in the patient and control groups were carefully questioned by the same researcher for their dietary characteristics.
resultThe duration of formula usage and daily volume of formula were statistically higher in the study group than the control group (p = 0.041 and p = 0.003, respectively). The urolithiasis group consumed significantly more cow's milk and dairy products (p = 0.033 and p = 0.001). There was no statistically meaningful difference between the two groups in terms of starting age for free water and salty food, as well as daily water intake.
conclusionWe concluded that dietary conditions could also be a risk factor for idiopathic urolithiasis. We believe that nutritional factors for infantile urolithiasis should be better described, in addition to genetic, anatomical, and metabolic factors. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
