The association between frailty index and all-cause mortality in US individuals with kidney stones: mediation by systemic immune-inflammation (SII) index.
Article in Urolithiasis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 relationship between the frailty index (FI) and all-cause mortality in patients with kidney stones remains unclear, and whether this relationship is mediated by the systemic Immune-Inflammation index (SII). This cohort study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in the United States, spanning 2007 to 2018. Utilizing Kaplan-Meier survival curves, Cox regression analysis, restricted cubic splines (RCS), and mediation analysis, the research investigated the relationships between FI, SII, and all-cause mortality in individuals with kidney stones. During a median follow-up of 6.3 years (16695 person-years) ,356 total deaths were recorded. A cohort of 2,620 U.S. participants was enrolled from NHANES 2007-2018. Frail individuals demonstrated significantly higher all-cause mortality compared to non-frail counterparts (HR = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.56-2.02, P < 0 0.001). Among patients with kidney stones, the FI showed a positive correlation with the SII (β = 38.18, 95% CI: 10.38-65.99, P < 0.01). The SII indirectly influenced the FI and all-cause mortality in these patients, accounting for 5.6% of the mediating effect. Among U.S. adults with kidney stones, the FI is linked to a higher risk of all-cause mortality, with SII potentially serving as a biological mechanism.
