Comprehensive epidemiological analyses of urinary stone diseases in eastern China: a regional population-based study.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundsUrinary stone disease (USD, or urolithiasis) is common and poses a substantial healthcare and economic burden on the working-age population. This study aimed to provide epidemiological insights into the prevalence, incidence, trends, and risk factors of USD among the Chinese population.
methodsWe conducted a prospective cohort study involving 966,481 participants from the CHinese Electronic health Records Research during 2009-2022 in Yinzhou, China (CHERRY). Temporal trends were estimated using annual percentage changes (APC) via Joinpoint regression analyses. Stratified Cox proportional hazards regression and propensity score analyses were employed to evaluate potential risk factors, population attribution factor (PAF) and number needed to prevent (NNTP).
resultsFrom 2014/2015 to 2021, there was an annualized increase in USD incidence by 5.3-6.8% (P < 0.05). Identified risk factors for USD included tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking, high body mass index, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and cardiovasculardisease while regular exercising served as a protective factor of USD. The PAF ranged from 1.3% for non-drinking behavior to 22.5% for regular exercising (weekly). Correspondingly, the NNTP ranged from 182 for non-smoking behavior to 21 for weekly exercising.
conclusionsUSD is a common disease affecting approximately 1 in 10 Chinese, with the incidence rate increasing by 5-6% annually over the past 6-7 years. Lifestyle factors and metabolic syndromes are potential risk factors for the development of USD.
