Association between body roundness index and prevalence of kidney stone in the U.S: a study based on the NHANES database.
Article in BMC urology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the potential association between the body roundness index (BRI) and kidney stone prevalence in adults in the United States.
methodsA cohort of participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database spanning 2007-2018 were gathered for analysis. Logistic regression analyses, subgroup assessments, and calculations were employed to examine the potential link between BRI and kidney stone prevalence.
resultsThe study included 30,990 participants aged > 20 years, of which 2,891 declared a kidney stone history. After modulating all relevant confounding factors, each unit increase in the BRI was linked to a 65% increase in kidney stone prevalence (OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.47, 1.85). Sensitivity analyses conducted by categorizing the BRI into three groups revealed a 59% increase in kidney stone prevalence in the highest tertile BRI group compared to the lowest one (OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.42, 1.79). Furthermore, dose-response curves depicted a positive near-linear correlation between the BRI and the risk of kidney stone prevalence.
conclusionThese findings suggest a clinically noteworthy positive correlation between higher BRI values and kidney stone prevalence among the studied US adult population. However, it is essential to acknowledge that the observed relationship does not establish a causal link.
