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

Background: Urolithiasis is a worldwide disease with regional variations in prevalence. A multidisciplinary uro-radiology meeting is pertinent to assess stone characteristics and prevalence. This study aims to determine the burden, locations, size, and density of urinary tract stones. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study of a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data in the uro-radiology meeting database of computerized tomography scan reports of consecutive patients diagnosed with urinary tract stones from March 2021 to September 2024. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 27.0. Categorical data were represented in percentages, while continuous data were presented in means with standard deviation. The association between the dependent and independent variable compared. Results: There were 144 participants comprising 55.6% males and 44.4% females. The mean age was 47.6 + 12.5 years; mean BMI 30.3 + 8.7 kg/m Conclusion: A large stone burden with high prevalence was found. The prevalence is higher in males and the obese.
