Pilot study determining the feasibility of implementing the Disadvantaged Populations eGFR Epidemiology Study (DEGREE) protocol, point-of-care field measurements and a new module on risk factors for chronic kidney disease of unknown origin in Hispanic outdoor workers.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundTo field test the Disadvantaged Populations eGFR Epidemiology (DEGREE) protocol, outdoor point-of-care (POC) testing for serum creatinine, and a new risk factor module on chronic kidney disease of undetermined origin (CKDu) in U.S. outdoor Hispanic workers.
methodsFifty workers were interviewed in Houston (TX). DEGREE and CKDu questionnaires were completed indoors. Anthropometrics and paired blood samples for POC and laboratory assay were completed outdoors over two periods (November-December 2017, April-May 2018).
resultsAdministration of DEGREE and CKDu questionnaires averaged 10 and 5 min, respectively, with all questions easily understood. We observed high correlations between POC and IDMS creatinine (r = 0.919) and BUN (r = 0.974). The POC device would disable testing when outdoor temperatures were above 85 °F or below 65 °F; this was adjustable.
conclusionsImplementation of DEGREE and the new CKDu module was straightforward and well understood. The POC device performed well in the field, with some adjustment in methods when temperature readings were out of range.
