Review in World journal of urology, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

While the physical chemistry of stone formation has been intensively studied during the last decade, it has become clear that the pathophysiology of renal stone disease cannot be explained by crystallization processes only. In recent years, evidence has emerged that the cells lining the renal tubules can have an active role in creating the conditions under which stones may develop. Since it is difficult to study these mechanisms in vivo, cultured renal tubular cells have become increasingly popular for the study of physiological and cell biological processes that are possibly linked to stone disease. In this paper, we discuss the possible contribution of cellular processes such as transepithelial oxalate transport and crystal--cell interaction to the formation of renal stones. Experimental studies that have been performed with cultured renal cells to elucidate the mechanisms involved in these processes will be summarized.
