Determinants of pediatric urolithiasis hospitalizations in endemic and non-endemic regions of Mexico.
Article in Frontiers in urology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Urolithiasis in pediatric populations is increasing worldwide, with environmental and social determinants playing key roles. In Mexico, Yucatan is an endemic area for urolithiasis in adults. However, pediatric data are scarce. Objective: This study aimed to describe the clinical and ecological characteristics of pediatric urolithiasis hospitalizations in endemic (Yucatan) and non-endemic areas of Mexico. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of national hospital discharge records (2018-2024) for patients <18 years with ICD-10 codes N20.0, N20.1, N20.9, N21.0, and N21.1. The sociodemographic and clinical variables were compared between Yucatan and other states. Non-parametric regression models were used to examine the associations between ecological indicators and hospitalization rates. Results: A total of 2,238 hospitalizations were identified, with a national rate of 3.28 per 10,000 Conclusion: Pediatric urolithiasis in Yucatan is associated with younger age, indigenous status, and higher hospitalization rates, highlighting the combined role of environmental and socioeconomic factors. Poverty emerged as a key determinant, underscoring the need for targeted preventive strategies, improved access to safe hydration, and culturally sensitive interventions in vulnerable populations.
