Comparison of visceral, body fat indices and anthropometric measures in relation to chronic kidney disease among Chinese adults from a large scale cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
backgroundThe aim of the study was to assess the association between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and obesity in predicting CKD among Chinese adults, distinguishing between 5 different adiposity indices: visceral fat index (VFI), percentage body fat (PBF), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR).
methodsA total of 29,516 participants aged 35 years or above were selected using a stratified multistage random sampling method across China during 2012-2015. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) < 60 ml/min/1.72m
resultsThe overall weighted prevalence of CKD was 3.94% (3.62% in males and 4.25% in females). All five adiposity indices had significant negative correlations to eGFR (P < 0.05). The area under the ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curves (AUC) for PBF was almost significantly larger than the other adiposity indices (P < 0.001). In addition, PBF yielded the highest Youden index in identifying CKD (male: 0.15; female: 0.20). In the logistic analysis, PBF had the highest crude odds ratios (ORs) in both males (OR: 1.819, 95% CI 1.559-2.123) and females (OR: 2.268, 95% CI 1.980-2.597). After adjusted for age, smoking status, alcohol use, education level, marital status, rural vs. urban area, geographic regions, and diagnosis of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction and stroke, the ORs on PBF remained significant for both genders (P < 0.05).
conclusionsObesity is associated with an increased risk of CKD. Furthermore, PBF was a better predictor for identifying CKD than other adiposity indices (BMI, WC, WHtR, and VFI).
