The atherogenic index of plasma increases the risk of incident kidney stones: a nested case-control study in Chinese adults.
Article in Renal failure, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 investigate the association between atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and risk of incident kidney stones.
methodsA nested case-control study was conducted using data from the Shanghai Kidney Stone Cohort from December 2018 to February 2023. Kidney stones were ascertained by ultrasound. Propensity score matching selected 2,550 patients with incident kidney stones and 5,100 controls from a total of 64,121 adults. Baseline fasting plasma samples were collected to measure the AIP, defined as the logarithm of the ratio triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. A multivariable conditional logistic regression model and restricted cubic spline were applied to examine the association between the AIP and the risk of incident kidney stones.
resultsThe baseline AIP values of the incident kidney stone patients and controls were 0.98 (0.67) and 0.91 (0.65), respectively. Patients with incident kidney stones had much higher baseline AIP levels than controls (
conclusionsA higher AIP is associated with a greater risk of incident kidney stones.
