Individual and joint associations of modifiable metabolic status and lifestyle with kidney stones among sedentary population: insights from a nationally representative dataset.
Article in International journal of surgery (London, England), 2026. 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
backgroundKidney stone is one of the most common urological conditions in sedentary individuals. Although specific behaviors such as diet and prolonged sitting are known risk factors, the individual and joint effects of metabolic status and lifestyle on kidney stone risk remain understudied. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study analyzed data from 10 801 sedentary individuals aged over 20 from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2007 and 2018. Metabolic status indicators included central obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, assessed using anthropometric and laboratory data and self-reported disease history. Lifestyle factors including physical inactivity, addictive behaviors, and unhealthy diet as well as kidney stone history were also estimated from self-reported questionnaire. We estimated the risk of kidney stone associated with individual and joint factors using weighted multivariable logistic regression, presenting odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsAmong the participants, 9.1% reported kidney stone. Individual poor metabolic status and unhealthy lifestyle were associated with higher prevalence of kidney stones. Higher cumulative scores in poor metabolic status or unhealthy lifestyle corresponded with an increased prevalence of kidney stones, rising from 4.37% to 15.59% and 8.01% to 15.39%, respectively. Additionally, participants with "worst metabolic status" or "worst lifestyle" separately had a 1.32-fold and 77% increase for risk of kidney stone, respectively (OR = 2.321, 95% CI: 1.479-3.645; OR = 1.774, 95% CI: 1.260-2.499). Furthermore, when metabolic status was not optimal, the worst lifestyle significantly increased the risk of kidney stone. The risk nearly increased by threefold in participants with both worst metabolic and lifestyle (OR = 3.918, 95% CI: 1.659-9.256).
conclusionsWorsening metabolic health combined with an unhealthy lifestyle significantly elevates kidney stone risk in sedentary populations, emphasizing the need to address both factors simultaneously for effective prevention.
