1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

We investigated how age affected renal function in healthy subjects in Beijing and compared different estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations. Kidney function was evaluated by five equations: Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI); Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study (MDRD); the Chinese version of the MDRD (MDRDc); Full Age Spectrum (FAS); and Berlin Initiative Study (BIS). A total of 46,708 subjects were enrolled and followed-up for 3 years. All showed an increase in sCr and a reduction in eGFR with increasing age. Over the 3 years, the eGFR and serum creatinine (sCr) remained unchanged in most subjects. Different equations showed good consistency; the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) was 0.849 for males, and 0.817 for females. The CKD-EPI equation yielded higher GFR values than the other equations (according to sCr levels). For subjects aged over 70 years, the BIS equation produced the lowest eGFR values. In summary, we observed that the renal function of individuals was relatively stable with increasing age, although different eGFR equations yielded data that varied across different populations of subjects and sCr levels.
