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

aimsTo investigate systemic risk factors contributing to the formation of sialolithiasis.

methodsA retrospective big-data cohort study was conducted using data from Clalit HMO in Israel. Sialolithiasis patients were identified based on ICD-10 codes and matched with controls. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the relationship between systemic conditions and sialolithiasis. P-value < 0.05 was considered significant.

results5100 sialolithiasis cases were collected. The statistical analysis revealed that hypertension (OR = 1.14, 1.08-1.24, p < 0.001), dyslipidemia (OR = 1.33, 1.27-1.41, p < 0.001), nephrolithiasis (OR = 1.55, 1.42-1.63, p < 0.001) and cholelithiasis (OR = 1.22, 1.16-1.27, p < 0.001) were significantly correlated with sialolithiasis.

conclusionsSystemic diseases, particularly dyslipidemia, play a role in the development of sialolithiasis. Further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms linking these conditions and to develop targeted strategies for the prevention of sialolithiasis. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study highlights the potential interplay between systemic conditions and sialolithiasis. Recognizing these associations can inform clinical practice in understanding the pathogenesis of the disease, risk assessment, early diagnosis, and preventive measures.
