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

A procedure to evaluate the global inhibitory capacity of heterogeneous nucleation for a given urine without any modification of its composition was developed. The procedure is based on the use of flat solid substrates that are submerged in urine. The quantification of the amount of formed crystals on the substrate permits to evaluate the crystallization inhibitory capacity for a whole urine. The proposed method was applied to study the inhibitory capacity of urines belonging to stone-formers and healthy people, before and after the ingestion of a dietary complement containing phytate in order to prove its reliability. A clear increase of the inhibitory capacity of the urine was detected in most cases when the dietary complement was consumed. Moreover, lack of crystallization inhibitory capacity was more frequent in stone-formers than in healthy people.
