Predicting survival of older community-dwelling individuals according to five estimated glomerular filtration rate equations: The InChianti study.
Article in Geriatrics & gerontology international, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
aimsThere is uncertainty about which estimated glomerular filtration rate eGFR equation to use in older people with respect to the prediction of prognosis. Our aim was: (i) to compare the discriminative capacity of eGFR estimated by different equations with respect to all-cause mortality; and (ii) to identify the eGFR threshold at which the risk of mortality starts to increase for each equation.
methodsWe used data from 828 community-dwelling older adults aged >65 years enrolled in the InCHIANTI study. The outcome measure was all-cause mortality at 9 years. GFR was estimated by five different equations: Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiological Collaboration (creatinine equation [CKD-EPI
resultsThe best mix of sensitivity, specificity, AUC and C-statistic value in predicting mortality was observed with BIS equations. BIS
conclusionsThe BIS equation discriminates the risk of all-cause mortality better than other equations in older community-dwelling individuals. The eGFR threshold under which mortality starts to increase could change as a function of the equation used. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2018; 18: 607-614.
