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

backgroundLipid accumulation product (LAP) is a novel and effective index of visceral adiposity distribution based on waist circumference and triglycerides concentration. Few studies investigated the relationship between LAP and eGFR. We aimed to explore whether LAP was associated with declined renal function (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 10,012 subjects were recruited from 22 sites in East China. LAP was calculated with the following formula: (WC-65) x TG for males, (WC-58) x TG for females.

results4.7% participants with declined renal function had a higher LAP quartile. LAP was strongly associated with eGFR level (Beta: -0.073, P < 0.001) and declined renal function (P < 0.001) even after adjustment for age, sex, smoking, drinking, diabetes and hypertension. The risk of renal dysfunction increased 2.32-fold for the highest quartile LAP relative to the lowest quartile (OR: 2.32, 95%CI:1.52-3.53, P < 0.001). LAP exerted the largest area under the curve among different obesity indices (AUC ROC:0.644, 95%CI: 0.618-0.670, P < 0.001).

conclusionsOur findings showed that LAP strongly associated with declined renal function and could be one of markers for predicting the risk of renal dysfunction in the general Chinese population.
