Sociodemographic associations with abnormal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in a large Canadian city: a cross-sectional observation study.
Observational study in BMC nephrology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) is often asymptomatic in its early stages but is indicated and is diagnosed with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min/1.73m
methodsSecondary laboratory data from all adult community patients who received an eGFR test result were collected from Calgary Laboratory Service's Laboratory Information System, which is the sole supplier of laboratory services for the large metropolitan city. Group-level sociodemographic variables were inferred by combining laboratory data with the 2011 Canadian Census data. Poisson regression and relative risk (RR) were used to calculate associations between sociodemographic variables with abnormal eGFR. Geographical distribution of abnormal eGFR result rates were analyzed by geospatial analysis using ArcGIS.
resultsOf the 346,663 adult community patients who received an eGFR test result, 28,091 were abnormal (8.1%; eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m
conclusionsPresented here are significant sociodemographic risk associations, and geospatial clustering of abnormal eGFR result rates in a large metropolitan Canadian city. Using solely publically available secondary laboratory and Census data, the results from this study aligns with known sociodemographic risk factors for CKD, as certain sociodemographic variables were at a higher risk for having an abnormal eGFR test result, while others were protective in this analysis.
