Relationship between the weight-adjusted-waist index and kidney stone: a population-based study.
Article in World journal of urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundAt present, a growing number of studies have shown a positive association between obesity and kidney stone, while traditional anthropometric measures, such as body mass index (BMI) and Waist circumference (WC), have limited ability to assess the risk of kidney stone. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between the weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) and the risk of kidney stone.
methodData from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2009 and 2016 were used. A total of 17,292 participants from NHANES were included in the study. Multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to investigate the relationship between WWI and kidney stone. Interaction analysis was performed for subgroups to verify the results. Meanwhile, the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the efficacy of different anthropometric indices in predicting the risk of kidney stone.
resultsAfter adjusting for potential confounding factors, we found a positive and independent association between kidney stone and WWI. After adjusting for all covariates, a one-unit increase in WWI was associated with a 36% increase in the risk of kidney stones. Dose-response curve analysis showed that WWI was non-linear correlated with the prevalence of kidney stone. In ROC analysis, WWI showed better discrimination for kidney stone (area under the curve: 0.612; 95% CI: 0.599-0.626; optimal cutoff value: 11.063) compared with other indices.
conclusionIn this study, increased WWI was strongly associated with the risk of kidney stone.
