Prevalence of diabetic nephropathy among Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and different categories of their estimated glomerular filtration rate based on the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation in primary care in Hong Kong: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05047471 (Healthy China - The Improvement Projects for the Screening Ability of Diabetes and Its Complications And for the Standardized Ability of Diagnosis and Treatment for Patients With Early Diabetic Nephropathy), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
purposeTo evaluate the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy and different categories of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as calculated by the CKD-EPI equation among Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes in primary care in Hong Kong. The associated factors of diabetic nephropathy were also analyzed.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in 35,109 Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes followed up in all General Outpatient Clinics in a Hospital Authority cluster and had undergone comprehensive diabetic complication assessment from April 2013 to March 2016. The GFR was estimated by the CKD-EPI equation. Logistic regression was used to analyze the associated factors of diabetic nephropathy.
resultsThe prevalence of diabetic nephropathy (with either or both albuminuria and impaired eGFR), impaired eGFR (with or without albuminuria) and albuminuria (with or without impaired eGFR) was 31.6%, 16.9% and 22.0% respectively. The prevalence of eGFR categories 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 was 36.0%, 47.1%, 15.7%, 1.1% and 0.1% respectively. The comorbidity with hypertension or presence of other diabetic microvascular or macrovascular complications including diabetic retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, history of stroke and history of ischemic heart disease had strong association with diabetic nephropathy. Obesity, smoking, suboptimal control of blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c and non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol were also significantly associated with diabetic nephropathy.
conclusionsDiabetic nephropathy was common among Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes in primary care in Hong Kong. Early identification and control of the modifiable risk factors are of upmost importance in preventing the complication.
