Association Between the CALLY Index and Kidney Stones: Insights From NHANES 2007-2010.

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
Background: Kidney stones are a prevalent health concern with rising incidence, influenced by factors such as inflammation, nutrition, and immune function. The C-reactive protein (CRP)-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index-a composite measure of CRP, albumin, and lymphocyte count-has demonstrated prognostic value in several cancers. However, its relevance to kidney stone formation remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to examine the association between the CALLY index and kidney stone risk using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2010. Methods: A total of 10,562 participants were included after applying exclusion criteria. Kidney stone status was determined through self-reported questionnaires, and the CALLY index was calculated accordingly. Associations between the CALLY index and kidney stones were assessed using multivariable logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS) models, and subgroup analyses. Results: Participants with kidney stones exhibited a lower mean CALLY index. Multivariable analyses revealed a significant inverse association between the CALLY index and kidney stone risk, particularly when the index was modeled categorically. Individuals in the highest quartile of the CALLY index had a 27.3% lower risk of kidney stones compared with those in the lowest quartile. RCS analysis further confirmed a nonlinear relationship. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the CALLY index is negatively associated with kidney stone risk.
