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
backgroundKidney stones, commonly calcium-based, form due to urine supersaturation and are influenced by factors such as pH, diet, and comorbidities. Symptoms include pain, hematuria, and infections. Studies indicate a higher prevalence in men and obese individuals. Risk factors include gender, climate, low fluid intake, and metabolic syndrome. Limited research has been conducted in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and associated risk factors of kidney stones among participants in the Jazan Region, Saudi Arabia. METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study included 386 participants from the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia. Data on kidney stone prevalence and risk factors were collected using structured questionnaires. Associations were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses, with statistical significance set at
conclusionThis study highlights a high prevalence of kidney stones in Jazan, Saudi Arabia, with significant predictors including male gender, older age, smoking, hypertension, and family history. Higher education was found to be protective. These findings underscore the importance of targeted prevention strategies addressing modifiable risk factors and promoting public health awareness.
