Reference ranges for serum cystatin C measurements in Japanese children by using 4 automated assays.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectiveThe data available on reference ranges for cystatin C in children are limited, and there are discrepancies among the available data. The aim of this study was to describe the reference ranges for cystatin C in Japanese children by using 4 automated assays.
methodsSerum cystatin C levels were measured in 1128 Japanese children aged 3 month to 16 years without kidney disease. We calculated age-, gender-, race- and assay-specific cystatin C ranges.
resultsFor all 4 assays, the median serum cystatin C levels were raised in term infants compared with older children and decreased by the first 2 years. The median serum cystatin C levels remained constant throughout up to the age of 14 years and decreased in children aged 15-16 years. The median serum cystatin C levels in children aged 12-16 years were slightly higher in males than in females. Assay-specific differences were also observed in the levels of serum cystatin C measured.
conclusionAge-, gender-, race- and assay-specific ranges for serum cystatin C should be used as another tool to assess kidney function in children.
