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

backgroundInsulin response may significantly contribute to the formation of kidney stones. Diets can modulate the insulin response and we hypothesize that high insulinemic potential diets may increase the kidney stones risk.

methodsData were from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Diets were assessed by 24-hour dietary recall. Two empirical dietary indices for insulin resistance (EDIR) and hyperinsulinemia (EDIH) were used to reflect the dietary insulinemic potential. Diagnosis of kidney stones was based on self-report. Logistic regression was employed to calculate ORs and 95% CIs while adjusting for variables identified through a directed acyclic graph (DAG).

resultsHigher EDIR [OR

conclusionsThis study indicates that the insulinemic potential of diet may partly underlie the influence of dietary patterns on kidney stones, emphasizing the importance of avoiding dietary patterns with insulinemic potential. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
