Associations between cystatin C-based eGFR, ambulatory blood pressure parameters, and in-clinic versus ambulatory blood pressure agreement in older community-living adults.

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
objectivesThe objective of this study was to determine the relationship between chronic kidney disease [CKD; measured using cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)] and abnormal ambulatory blood pressure (including nocturnal dipping) in healthy older adults. Further, this study aimed to assess the agreement between clinic and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
methodsSerum cystatin C levels were measured to calculate eGFR. Participants underwent clinic and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure measurements. Multiple linear regression was performed to examine the association between reduced cystatin C-based eGFR (CKDcys) and blood pressure parameters. Bland-Altman analysis was carried out to evaluate the agreement between clinic and ambulatory measurements.
resultsThe average age was 72 years. There were 60 individuals with CKDcys (eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73 m). Compared with those without CKDcys, individuals with CKDcys were older, more likely to have hypertension, and less likely to have normal dipping patterns. On multivariate analysis, the presence of CKDcys was found to be significantly associated with a lower mean ambulatory diastolic blood pressure (-2 mmHg, P=0.048), but not with nocturnal dipping or other blood pressure parameters. Clinic systolic blood pressure (SBP) significantly overestimated the mean wake-time ambulatory SBP; the mean difference was 11 mmHg for those without CKDcys (95% limits of agreement -14 to 35 mmHg) and 14 mmHg for those with CKDcys (95% limits of agreement -13 to 41 mmHg); there was no statistically significant effect modification by CKD status.
conclusionIn older, seemingly healthy adults, mild CKD was associated with lower ambulatory diastolic blood pressure. The presence of CKD did not affect interpretation of clinic versus ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, although the accuracy of clinic SBP was poor.
