A Slight Decrease in the Serum Albumin Level Is Associated with the Rapid Progression of Kidney Dysfunction, Even within the Normal Range.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Objective A low-normal albumin level is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in the general population. However, the relationship between the serum albumin level and the future decline in the kidney function is unclear. We evaluated the effect of the serum albumin level on the decline in the kidney function in the general population. Methods The data used were from 11,000 participants in a voluntary health checkup program conducted between 1998 and 2006 in Japan. The primary outcome for the kidney function was a difference in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (ΔeGFR) of≥3 mL/min/1.73 m
