Measuring and estimating glomerular filtration rate in children.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 51 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
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best index for kidney function in health and disease. Knowledge of the GFR is essential for the detection (diagnosis) and monitoring of renal function during disease progression and for ensuring correct medication doses. Inulin clearance (plasma or urine) is currently considered to be the gold standard for measuring GFR, but in clinical practice the measurement of other exogenous filtration markers from the plasma often replaces that of inulin clearance. Different protocols can be used to determine the area under the plasma disappearance curve, and an understanding of these methods is important. GFR can also be estimated by GFR equations (eGFR), which are most often used in clinical practice because they only require a knowledge of the serum creatinine or cystatin C level and demographic information. eGFR equations are easy to use but they do have their limitations, and it is important to know how these equations were derived and in which circumstances they can be used most accurately. The aim of this review is to explain how GFR can be measured using the renal clearance and the plasma clearance method and which eGFR equations can be applied to children, as well as how and when these equations can be used in clinical practice.
