1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo analyze and discuss the clinical characteristics and risk factors of bilateral renal tuberculosis.

methodsA retrospective study was performed on 446 patients who were diagnosed with renal TB. Among these patients, 69 patients with bilateral renal TB were selected as the observation group, and 377 patients with unilateral renal TB served as the control group. Logistic regression was used to analyze the age, sex, BMI, place of residence, comorbidities, time from onset to clinic visit, and treatment history to identify the risk factors for the occurrence of bilateral renal TB.

resultsThe univariate analysis showed that BMI (P = 0.003), place of residence (P = 0.048), combined with urinary calculi (P = 0.010), history of endoscopy (P < 0.001), and history of ureteral stenting (P < 0.001) were significantly associated with the incidence of bilateral renal TB. The multivariate analysis revealed BMI < 18.5 kg/m

conclusionSuch factors as rural residence, low BMI, urinary calculi, and previous history of endoscopic examination were identified as the main risk factors for the occurrence of bilateral renal TB.
