Association between dietary niacin intake and kidney stones in American adults.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
The evidence regarding the relationship between dietary niacin intake and kidney stones is limited. This study aims to investigate the association of dietary niacin intake with the prevalence of kidney stones among adults in the United States. The present cross-sectional study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2018. Dietary niacin intake was obtained from the first 24-h dietary recalls. The history of kidney stones was assessed by a questionnaire. Weighted logistic regression, restricted cubic splines (RCS) and stratified analysis were used to evaluate the relationship between dietary niacin intake and the risk of kidney stones. A total of 28,508 participants were included. In the full adjusted model, an inverse relationship between dietary niacin intake and kidney stones was observed. Compared to individuals in the lowest dietary niacin intake group, those in the highest group had lower odds of developing kidney stones (OR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.63-0.97). RCS analysis showed a L-shaped relationship between niacin intake and kidney stones (P for non-linearity = 0.047). Stratified analysis indicated that this inverse associations appeared to be stronger among participants aged blew 60 years (P for interaction < 0.05). This cross-sectional study indicated that dietary niacin intake was associated with a decreased risk of kidney stones in US adults, especially in individuals under 60 years of age. Our findings suggest that appropriate doses of niacin intake may reduce the risk of kidney stones. Further research is required to confirm our findings and clarify the casual relationship.
