Epidemiology and risk factors of urolithiasis: insights from SKIPOGH, a population-based cohort study in Switzerland.

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 represent a growing global health concern, with a lifetime prevalence estimated at 7%-13% in North America and 1%-5% in Asia, but European data are scarce. We assessed the prevalences and incidence of kidney stones in the Swiss adult population and identified associated factors. Methods: The Swiss Kidney Project on Genes in Hypertension (SKIPOGH) is a multicenter cohort including 1128 participants recruited from the general population of Lausanne, Geneva and Bern (2009-12). All underwent renal ultrasound at baseline and completed a standardized questionnaire. Predefined demographic, lifestyle and clinical variables included age, sex, BMI, education, smoking, physical activity, hypertension, diabetes, history of kidney stones, laboratory and urinary parameters. A follow-up visit was performed 3 years later. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with kidney stone prevalence at baseline and 3-year incidence of newly formed stones. Results: Ultrasound-detected kidney stones were present in 5.6% (6.1% men and 5.1% women). The 3-year incidence of new stones was 4.3% (4.1% men, 4.6% women). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, diabetes mellitus [odds ratio (OR) 2.93, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05-8.21, Conclusion: In this Swiss cohort, the prevalence of kidney stones was lower than that reported in North America but higher than in Asian populations. Diabetes mellitus, family history of kidney stones were the strongest risk factors for prevalent stones, while a personal history of kidney stones and low physical activity were predictors of incident stone formation. These data will help to inform prevention strategies.
