Health-Risk Factors and the Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease: Cross-Sectional Findings from a National Cohort of 87,143 Thai Open University Students.
Article in Global journal of health science, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) is becoming a major health challenge worldwide as its aetiology has transferred from predominantly infectious disease to emerging chronic diseases, especially diabetes and hypertension. A rapid health-risk transition driven by economic development is transforming Thailand which is now becoming an ageing country where chronic diseases are a major health burden.
methodsThis study used the 2005 baseline cross-sectional dataset of 87,143 Thai Cohort Study members to investigate risk factors associated with CKD. Using multivariate logistic regression, we looked into the relationship between CKD and demographic and socioeconomic factors, personal health status and various health-related behaviours.
resultsThe prevalence of CKD in men was lower than that in women (2.5% vs 2.7%). In both sexes, CKD is associated with ageing, cigarette smoking and drinking alcohol, having diabetes, high lipids and hypertension. In men, CKD was associated with living in rural areas, having a low income, a higher BMI, short sleeping and having Western fast food. In women, marriage is associated with a higher risk of CKD.
conclusionsCKD is strongly associated with ageing, underlying diseases, smoking and drinking. Hypertension, elevated lipids, or diabetes are all risk factors that could be prevented or detected and treated. The Ministry of Public Health should encourage Thai people to consume healthy food, maintain a normal weight, stop smoking and drink alcohol in moderation, all of which will help prevent CKD.
