Educational review: measurement of GFR in special populations.
Review in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
importanceChanges in kidney function are typically followed by the sequential estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Formulae for eGFR work well on a population basis, but there are well-known conditions where they do not work.
objectiveThe purpose of this review is to summarize the existing literature on special populations in the pediatric age range and provide recommendations on how to estimate GFR in these populations.
findingsThe reliability of creatinine depends on muscle mass, while cystatin C (not widely available) is limited by inflammation and changes in protein catabolism. Various dietary factors can alter eGFR. Renal function in neonates changes drastically every day, and there are currently no satisfactory reference intervals for routine pediatric use. Gender effects and conditions such as wasting disease and obesity require alternative ways to obtain eGFR. In oncology patients, chemotherapy may negatively affect renal function, and nuclear GFR measurements may be necessary. For body builders, high muscle mass may lead to underestimation of eGFR using creatinine. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Clinicians should be aware of special populations that may yield misleading eGFRs with conventional creatinine-based formulae, and that the alternative methods may be more appropriate for some populations.
