Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have an increased risk of incident chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies.

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
objectivesPatients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have a higher risk of developing chronic kidney (CKD) compared with general population, but the data on this risk are still not well characterized. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively investigate this association by reviewing all available studies.
methodsA systematic review was performed using MEDLINE and EMBASE database from inception to July 2019 to identify all cohort studies that compared the risk of developing CKD after index date among patients with RA versus individuals without RA. Pooled risk ratio and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using random-effect, generic inverse-variance method of DerSimonian and Laird.
resultsA total of four cohort studies (three retrospective cohort studies and four prospective cohort study) comprising of 1,627,833 participants met the inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. The overall quality of the included studies was good. The risk of incident CKD was significantly increased among patients with RA with the pooled risk ratio of 1.52 (95% CI 1.28-1.80). The statistical heterogeneity was high with an I
conclusionsA significantly increased risk of incident CKD among patients with RA compared with individuals without RA was demonstrated in this study.
