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

Objective: Uric acid stones are commonly classified into pure uric acid stones (PUCS) and mixed uric acid stones with calcium oxalate (MUCS). This study aims to investigate the metabolic differences between PUCS and MUCS patients, in order to inform prevention strategies and guide management and follow-up care for uric acid urolithiasis. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 88 patients diagnosed with uric acid stones (PUCS: 37, MUCS: 51). Comprehensive data were collected, including blood tests and stone composition analysis. Results: Both PUCS and MUCS patients exhibited obesity, but only PUCS patients showed significant lipid metabolism abnormalities, with HDL levels significantly lower than in MUCS patients (p < 0.05). Renal dysfunction was observed in both groups, but was more severe in the PUCS group, as indicated by higher serum creatinine levels (p < 0.05). Additionally, serum calcium levels were significantly higher in the MUCS group compared to the PUCS group (p < 0.05). No significant differences were found in 24-hour urinary excretion of uric acid, sodium, potassium, chloride, or phosphorus between the two groups. Conclusion: Patients with PUCS exhibit more pronounced disturbances in lipid metabolism and renal function compared to those with MUCS. It is essential to prioritize and enhance the monitoring of metabolic assessments and renal function during the postoperative follow-up of patients with PUCS.
