Presentation and outcome of chronic kidney disease in Italian and immigrant citizens: results from the Emilia-Romagna PIRP project.
Article in Journal of nephrology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionIn recent decades, high income countries (HIC) have been exposed to huge human migratory flows. Consistent with this influx, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in the immigrant population. In Italy, comparisons between Italian and immigrant CKD patients are still lacking, thus we aimed to describe the baseline clinical characteristics and the main outcomes of CKD patients who immigrated to Italy and reside in the Emilia Romagna region.
methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study based on CKD patients from the Prevenzione Insufficienza Renale Progressiva (PIRP) project, which included 963 (3.1%) immigrants among the 30,702 patients seen by nephrologists between April 1st, 2004 and June 30th, 2020. We sub-divided the immigrants into seven groups based on their area of origin, and compared their baseline characteristics, CKD progression and time to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) to those of Italian CKD patients.
resultsAt presentation, Italian subjects were on average older (73.1 years) and had less preserved kidney function (eGFR 34.3 ml/min), while South and East Asians had the highest proportion of diabetes and obesity (approximately 45% and 30%, respectively). At 4-year follow-up, about 20% of patients from South Asia, Eastern Europe and Arab Countries were diagnosed with ESKD, compared to only 11% of Italians and Latin Americans.
conclusionsWe found important differences between Italian and immigrant CKD patients, as well as among immigrant subgroups. First clinical encounters with nephrologists revealed that immigrants had varied patterns of clinical presentation and of nephropathy. During follow-up, immigrants showed faster kidney function decline which led to a higher risk of disease evolution and progression towards ESKD.
