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

The global incidence of nephrolithiasis has increased significantly in recent decades. The prevalence remains higher in males than females, the exact mechanisms responsible for this gender-based disparity in nephrolithiasis risk remain incompletely understood. Although dietary and lifestyle factors contribute to this difference, they do not entirely account for the observed variation. Emerging evidence suggests that steroid hormones may play a pivotal role in modulating renal stone formation through their influence on calcium, oxalate, and phosphate metabolism, as well as regulating the renal inflammatory microenvironment. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the interplay between steroid hormones and nephrolithiasis pathogenesis, providing a theoretical framework for understanding gender-specific susceptibility and highlighting potential avenues for tailored preventive and therapeutic approaches.
