1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors for early chronic kidney disease (CKD) (GFR 60-89 ml/min/1.73 m²; CKD stage 2) in asymptomatic Chinese individuals undergoing routine health examination. MATERIAL AND METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled 9100 individuals who received voluntary medical examinations between 10/01/2011 and 09/30/2017. Demographic data, clinical history, clinical examination, medication, smoking, alcohol, blood biochemistry, urinalysis, and carotid ultrasound were extracted from the medical records. All laboratory analyses were performed routinely. Multivariable logistic regression for factors predicting CKD stage 2 was performed. RESULTS A total of 9100 individuals were enrolled (age of 18-65 and 65.4% male). CKD stage 2 was found in 1989/9100 individuals (21.9%). Male gender (OR=6.711, 95%CI: 5.376-8.403, P<0.001), older age (OR=1.077, 95%CI: 1.068-1.086, P<0.001), hemoglobin levels (OR=1.051, 95%CI: 1.046-1.057, P<0.001), triglycerides levels (OR=1.174, 95%CI: 1.067-1.292, P=0.001), HDL-C (OR=0.539, 95%CI: 0.380-0.763, P<0.001), Lp(a) levels (OR=1.000, 95%CI: 1.000-1.001, P=0.03), and carotid atherosclerosis (OR=1.248, 95%CI: 1.005-1.550, P=0.045) were associated with CKD stage 2 among all subjects. Serum triglycerides levels were associated with CKD stage 2 in the 18-45 and 45-65 years of age subgroups. CONCLUSIONS Factors that are routinely assessed during routine health examinations (male gender, age, hemoglobin levels, triglycerides levels, HDL-C, Lp(a) levels, and carotid atherosclerosis) can help identify individuals at higher risk of having CKD stage 2. The Chinese dyslipidemia is characterized by high triglycerides and low HDL-C and occurs in young and middle-aged individuals. Those factors could help identify individuals at higher risk for CKD stage 2 and who could benefit from preventive treatments.
