Impact of the severity of obesity on microalbuminuria in obese normotensive nondiabetic individuals.
Article in Journal of renal injury prevention, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
introductionMicroalbuminuria has been now recognized as the most important risk factor for the increased morbidity and mortality in the obese population.
objectivesWe aimed to know whether severity of obesity is associated with the presence of renal injury while microalbuminuria acts, independent of other risk factors as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe current cross-sectional study was conducted on consecutive obese normotensive nondiabetic individuals. Two groups of adult individuals were selected as controls comprised of 161 obese adults with body mass index (BMI) 30-35 kg/m(2) and 25 very obese adults as cases with BMI more than 35 kg/m(2). Microalbuminuria was defined as abnormal urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) more than 30 mg/g of creatinine.
resultsNo significant differences in serum creatinine level, urinary albumin concentration, as well as UACR between obese and very obese individuals was seen. Using Pearson correlation coefficient analysis, no significant correlation was observed between BMI and parameters of renal function. Microalbuminuria was more prevalent in very obese individuals compared with obese group (24.0% versus 9.9%, P = 0.043) in univariate analysis.
conclusionSevere obesity compared with milder obesity status cannot predict the occurrence of increased urinary albumin excretion and microalbuminuria.
