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

purposeFew studies have investigated the association between metabolic syndrome (MS) and chronic kidney disease in the elderly. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to examine the sex-specific association between MS and decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in a Chinese elderly population.

methodsWe performed cross-sectional analyses of older (age ≥60 years) males (n = 19,015) and females (n = 23,310) classified as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 component(s) or MS group based on the presenting MS component(s). Sex-specific relationship of decreased GFR with MS component(s) was analyzed by logistic regression models.

resultsCompared with participants with 0 component of MS, males with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 component(s) had 1.40-, 1.79-, 2.41-, 3.29-, and 4.09-fold risks for decreased GFR; females with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 component(s) had 1.65-, 1.71-, 1.88-, 2.32-, and 1.96-fold risks for decreased GFR, respectively. The multivariate-adjusted odds ratios for decreased GFR in males and females with MS compared with those without MS were 1.79 and 1.25, respectively. For participants without hypertension and diabetes, the association of MS with decreased GFR was still significant.

conclusionsIn this study of 42,325 Chinese participants aged ≥60 years, MS was significantly associated with decreased GFR, and the association was more profound for males than females.
