Comparisons of GFR estimation using the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation and other creatinine-based equations in Asian population: a systematic review.
Synthesis in International urology and nephrology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purposeThe aim of the study was to summarize the evidence of the validation of CKD-EPI equation and alternative creatinine-based equations in Asian population.
methodsRelevant validation studies of CKD-EPI and other creatinine-based equations were identified by a systematic literature searching of PubMed conducted from January 2009 through August 2014. Searching terms included "CKD EPI", "Kidney function test [MeSH] and validation", and "Glomerular filtration rate [MeSH] and validation" without language or design of study restrictions. The quality of each study was assessed using Quality Assessment of diagnostic Accuracy studies-2 tool.
resultsOf 1064 studies identified, 10 studies were included in the present systematically review. The CKD-EPI equation has been validated in several Asian population including Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Pakistani as well as Arabic. CKD-EPI equation met the clinically significant 75 % P30 value in several populations, although corrections of some factors may increase the accuracy of the equation. However, some populations may need to find more accurate equations or methods to estimate GFR for the patients.
conclusionsCKD-EPI is a good equation to start with for estimation of patients' renal function but for certain disease states and racial populations, the CKD-EPI should be validated before applying. More research is needed in order to develop validated eGFR equations for specific populations and to improve upon the accuracies of currently acceptable equations to better guide therapy and improve patient outcomes.
