Prevalence and Risk Factors of Gallbladder Stones and Polyps in Liaoning, China.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Objective: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of gallbladder stones and polyps in individuals undergoing physical examinations in Liaoning province, China. Methods: This is a retrospective study of adults who underwent routine health examinations at Xikang Medical Center in Liaoning Province (Shenyang, Dandong, and Dalian) from 01/2016 to 12/2020. The routine health examination included anthropometry, blood tests, and liver ultrasound. Based on liver ultrasound results, patients were grouped into those with gallbladder stones, those with gallbladder polyps, those with both stones and polyps, and those with neither. Results: Of the 284,129 included subjects, 6,537 (2.30%) were diagnosed with gallbladder stones, and 18,873 (6.64%) were diagnosed with gallbladder polyps. The overall prevalence in Liaoning province increased each year, peaking in 2020. The prevalence of gallbladder stones was higher among females than males (2.39% vs. 2.23%, respectively), while the prevalence of gallbladder polyps was higher among males. The gallbladder polyp group had higher BMI, FBG, SBP, DBP, TG, TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, AST, ALP, GGT, BUN, Scr, SUA. Except for HDL-C, all factors were also higher in the gallbladder stone group. Patients with fatty liver had a higher prevalence of gallbladder stones and polyps than participants without fatty liver. Conclusion: The prevalence of gallbladder stones and polyps in Liaoning varies by sex, economic status of the city of residence, BMI, and metabolic indicators.
