A Holistic Approach to Risk for Early Kidney Injury in Indigenous Youth With Type 2 Diabetes: A Proof of Concept Paper From the iCARE Cohort.
Article in Canadian journal of kidney health and disease, 2019. 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
backgroundIndigenous youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are disproportionately affected by early onset albuminuria and are at high risk of kidney failure in early adulthood. Traditional biological approaches have failed to fully explain the renal morbidity seen in this population. The
objectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the iCARE analytic framework which evaluates relationships between biological factors, mental health, inflammation, and albuminuria utilizing a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach.
methodsThe first 187 youth with T2D (10-25 years) from the Manitoba iCARE cohort are presented here to evaluate our theoretical and analytic framework. An SEM was chosen to evaluate the statistical significance of proposed associations. The primary outcome was a nonorthostatic urine albumin:creatinine ratio ≥2 mg/mmol. Main exposures (ie, latent factors) included psychological health (distress, perceived stress, positive mental health and resilience), hypertension (24 hour monitored), and inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein [CRP], erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR], fibrinogen). Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and duration of diabetes were covariates.
resultsWithin the initial cohort (median age = 15 years, duration of diabetes = 2.3 years, 66.8% female), 30.5% (n = 57) had nonorthostatic albuminuria (ALB), and the majority of ALB was persistent (confirmed in 2/3 samples over a 6-month period; n = 47). Youth with ALB had higher HbA1c (10.9% vs 8.9%;
conclusionsAlbuminuria is highly prevalent in Indigenous youth with T2D. This preliminary analysis supports a theoretical framework linking glycemic control, hypertension, and inflammation, potentially mediated by psychological factors with albuminuria. These data support the need for more holistic models of evaluation and care for youth with T2D and multifactorial interventions to prevent complications.
