Nephrolithiasis in sarcoidosis: epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical implications.
Article in World journal of urology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo describe the demographic profile and risk factors for kidney stone formation in patients with sarcoidosis. MATERIAL AND
methods158 sarcoidosis patients were analyzed, comparing groups with and without kidney stones evaluating clinical and metabolic factors and medication use. Statistical analysis was carried out using R software (p < 0.05).
resultsThe sample consisted of 138 patients (87.34%), with a majority of females (67.4%) and a median age of 54. Frequent comorbidities included hypertension (38.4%), diabetes (18.1%), and dyslipidemia (6.5%). Nephrolithiasis was reported by 11.9% of patients. Laboratory tests showed hypercalcemia in 9.4% and hypercalciuria in 17.4%. Kidney stones were found in 15.9% of patients, three of whom were bilateral. The comparative analysis revealed a significant association with a previous history of nephrolithiasis (40% vs. 6.6%). There was no statistical correlation with laboratory tests, except for uric acid, which was lower in the group with stones. Hydroxychloroquine was more frequent in the group with stones but without statistical significance. Logistic regression did not identify any significant associations.
conclusionNephrolithiasis occurred in 16% of sarcoidosis patients and was more prevalent in women and adults. Calcium disturbances persist, requiring continuous monitoring. A history of renal lithiasis should be valued in diagnosis and follow-up.
