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

purposeA number of studies have reported on decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after donation in Japanese living kidney donors. The purpose of the present study was to examine the clinicopathological factors associated with changes in GFR after donation in living kidney donors.

methodsWe reviewed the charts of living kidney donors (n = 294) and monitored estimated GFR (eGFR) values from the time of 0-h kidney biopsy until 3 years after donation. We assessed donor age, gender, body mass index, blood pressure, urinalysis, and several other clinical parameters including the severity of glomerulosclerosis and arteriosclerosis.

resultsThe grade of arteriosclerosis in 0-h biopsy specimens was higher in the older donor group (57-76 years) than in the younger donor group (30-56 years). Mean donor eGFR at the time of the donation was 80.1 ± 13.6 ml/min/1.73 m(2). Most of the living kidney donors in this study developed stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD). The mean changes in eGFR at 1-3 years after donation showed a steady state that was distinct from the generally accepted notion that GFR declines with age. Multivariate regression analyses showed that the changes in eGFR were negatively associated with age (r = -0.21, P < 0.001) and preoperative eGFR (r = -0.18, P < 0.001), but not associated with the grade of glomerulosclerosis and arteriosclerosis.

conclusionDonor age and pre-GFR at the time of nephrectomy were associated with decline in kidney function in living kidney donors after donation. Most of the donors developed stage 3 CKD within 3 years after donation but without subsequent progression, at least for several years.
