Effects of statins on the kidneys in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Observational study in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundEffects of statins on kidneys in diabetic patients remain unclear.
methodsThis was an observational, historical cohort study of type 2 diabetic patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m
resultsA total of 168 pairs were matched for propensity score. Annual eGFR change (mL/min/1.73 m
conclusionsStatins have no beneficial effects on kidneys in diabetic patients. In fact, lipophilic statins might have potential harmful effects on kidney function.
