Association between the American Heart Association's new "Life's Essential 8" metrics and kidney stone.
Article in World journal of urology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThe incidence of kidney stone disease has increased worldwide, resulting in high medical costs and social burden. Kidney stone disease shares some common features with the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). We investigated the association between cardiovascular health (CVH) based on the Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score developed by the American Heart Association and the incidence of kidney stone disease.
methodsWe analyzed the data of 29,469 US adults aged 20 years or above from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2007-2018. According to the LE8 score, CVH was divided into three categories: poor, intermediate, and ideal. Logistic regression was used to determine the association between CVH and the incidence of kidney stone disease by estimating odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsThe average age of the participants was 48.6 years, and 50% of the participants were women. The numbers of participants with poor, intermediate, and ideal CVH were 4149, 19,782, and 5538, respectively. After adjusting for related confounding factors, ideal CVH was associated with a reduction in the odds of kidney stone occurrence as compared to poor CVH (adjusted OR [aOR]: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.35-0.57, p < 0.001). Moreover, if the ideal CVH metrics was ≥ 6, the odds of kidney stone occurrence decreased by up to 61% (aOR: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.30-0.51).
conclusionsIn the present study, ideal CVH, a factor indicative of a healthy lifestyle, was associated with lower odds of kidney stone occurrence.
