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

Previous observational studies preliminarily unveiled dietary habits that are associated with urinary calculus (UC). However, the causal association remained unclear. This study employed two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess the causal effects of dietary factors on UC using genome-wide association data. Multivariable MR (MVMR) was applied to identify independent dietary influences, and two-step MR explored mediation by 30 common biomarkers. Genetically predicted intake of alcohol, coffee (including decaffeinated, instant, and ground coffee), psychoactive drinks, tea, fruits (including dried fruit), and preferences for coffee without sugar, fruit, and white wine were inversely associated with calculus of the kidney and ureter (all
