Patterns of weight change during adulthood and incidence of nephrolithiasis: a population-based study.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThere is some evidence to suggest that there may be a link between body mass index (BMI) and the development of kidney stones, it remains unclear whether weight change was associated with the presence of kidney stone.
aimsThe objective of this study was to investigate the potential association between changes patterns in weight during adulthood and the incidence of kidney stone.
methodsThis study included 14472 participants aged 30-75 years, whose BMI was recorded at both baseline and 10 years prior to the survey. We categorized individuals into five weight change patterns: stable healthy, non-obesity to obesity, obesity to non-obesity, stable obesity, and maximum overweight. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) relating weight change to incident kidney stone were calculated using logistic regression models adjusting for covariates. The non-linear association between absolute weight change was investigated using the restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression. The supposed population attributable fraction (PAF) for the weight change patterns was calculated.
resultsAfter adjusting for all confounders, participants changing from non-obesity to obesity, obesity to non-obesity, and stable obesity had significantly higher risks of kidney stone than those with healthy weight during adulthood (OR = 1.59, 95% CI:1.18-2.13; OR = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.47-2.16; OR = 1.80, 95% CI: 1.48-2.19, respectively). A U-shaped association was observed, and the risk of kidney stone was lowest in participants with stable healthy BMI. If the population had maintained a healthy BMI, a 28.7% (95% CI: 18.6%-37.5%) lower incidence of kidney stones was observed.
conclusionsThis study found that changes in weight during adulthood are linked to the risk of developing kidney stones. Maintaining healthy weight during adulthood is important for reducing the risk of developing kidney stones.
