Association between ZJU index and kidney stone prevalence in the Chinese adult population: a retrospective propensity score-matched analysis.
Article in Urolithiasis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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 study aimed to explore the association between the ZJU (Zhejiang University) index and the prevalence of kidney stones in Chinese adults. Electronic health records of individuals undergoing routine physical examinations at Wuhu Second People's Hospital between January 2021 and June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Participants were divided into kidney stone recurrence and non-recurrence groups. Data on biochemical parameters, hypertension, and diabetes history were collected, and group differences were assessed using the chi-square test or Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test. Logistic regression, propensity score matching, and dose-response curve modeling were used to evaluate the relationship between the ZJU index and kidney stone prevalence. Among 5,104 participants aged over 18 years, 462 were diagnosed with kidney stones. After adjusting for confounders, a higher ZJU index was identified as an independent risk factor for kidney stone prevalence (odds ratio [OR] = 1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.08). Propensity score-matched analysis further confirmed this association (OR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.04-1.13). Dose-response analysis revealed a positive linear relationship between the ZJU index and kidney stone recurrence. These findings suggest that elevated ZJU index levels are associated with a higher prevalence and recurrence of kidney stones, highlighting its potential as a clinical tool for identifying and managing at-risk patients.
