Visceral Adiposity and Its Impact on Nephrolithiasis: A Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Kidney stones represent a serious medical problem, resulting from several factors such as diet, genetics, and certain medical conditions. Visceral adipose tissue has been shown in recent research to play a significant role in kidney stone formation, making it a more precise indicator than traditional obesity indicators such as body mass index. The main aim of this review is to summarize studies on visceral obesity as a predictive marker for nephrolithiasis and to highlight new mechanistic pathways such as adipokine-mediated inflammation and its impact on kidney stone formation. This review emphasizes the importance of considering visceral fat in the prevention and management of kidney stones, suggesting that targeted strategies to reduce visceral fat could decrease the incidence of kidney stones and their management costs. Further prospective studies are needed to validate these findings and propose preventive strategies based on visceral adiposity assessments.
