Urinary Tubular Injury Biomarkers Are Associated With ESRD and Death in the REGARDS Study.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
introductionUrinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) and urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (uKIM-1) are established markers of subclinical acute kidney injury. In persons with reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria who are at high risk for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and death, the associations of these urinary markers with incident ESRD or death is an area of active investigation.
methodsAmong 1472 black and white participants from the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study with eGFR ≤60 ml/min per 1.73 m
resultsThere were 257 ESRD events and 819 deaths over a median follow-up of 5.7 and 6.5 years, respectively. In demographic adjusted models, higher levels of uNGAL were associated with increased risk of ESRD and death, but these associations were attenuated in fully adjusted models including baseline eGFR for both ESRD (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.06 per doubling, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.98-1.14) and death (HR = 1.04, 95% CI = 1.00-1.08). Higher levels of uKIM-1 were associated with increased risk of ESRD and death in demographic-adjusted models, and although attenuated in fully adjusted models, remained statistically significant for both ESRD (HR = 1.24 per doubling, 95% CI = 1.08-1.42) and death (HR = 1.10, 95% CI =1.03-1.19).
