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

backgroundRenal inulin clearance is the gold standard for evaluation of kidney function, but is compromised by problems of collecting urine samples in children, especially those <6 years or with a bladder dysfunction. Therefore, we should utilize the serum cystatin C (cysC)-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for measuring serum cysC. The purpose of the present study is to determine the applicability of the new serum cysC-based eGFR in Japanese children and adolescents, including infants with chronic kidney disease (CKD), for evaluation of renal function.

methodsInulin clearance and standardized serum cysC level determined by the colloidal gold immunoassay were measured in 135 pediatric CKD patients between the ages of 1 month and 18 years with no underlying disease that affects renal function except CKD, to determine serum cysC-based eGFR in Japanese children and adolescents.

resultsWe showed the inulin clearance by expression of 1/serum cysC in pediatric CKD patients, which resulted in the equation: inulin GFR (mL/min/1.73 m(2)) = 104.1 × 1/serum cysC (mg/L) - 7.80. We also validated the cysC-based eGFR formula for Japanese adults. eGFR values obtained with the adult formula significantly underestimated GFR by approximately 8 % in children with CKD.

conclusionWe determined the new cysC-based eGFR formula is useful for clinical screening of renal function in Japanese children and adolescents, including infants.
