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

Objective: The formation of kidney stones is influenced by multiple factors, including physical health indicators such as grip strength (GS), which reflects overall muscle health. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between GS and the risk of developing kidney stones. Methods: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2011 and 2014 were analyzed. The maximum value of six GS measurements was selected as the definitive value. Relative grip strength (rGS) was calculated to adjust for body size differences. Chi-square tests and Results: The study included 9306 participants, with 302 having kidney stones. Participants with kidney stones had lower mean GS (32.0 kg Conclusion: Lower GS is linked to a higher risk of kidney stones, highlighting the importance of muscle health in the prevention of kidney stones.
