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 We studied three types of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations and evaluated which type was strongly associated with comorbidities in living kidney transplantation (LKT) donors. Methods We compared the Japanese modified eGFR, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease, and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equations (Jm-eGFR, Jm-MDRD, and Jm-CKD-EPI, respectively) for Japanese LKT donors with respect to their relationships with obesity, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. Results Of the 8,176 enrolled Japanese LKT donors, the eGFR calculated using Jm-CKD-EPI (eGFR/Jm-CKD-EPI) detected significant differences in 4 of 5 comorbidities between the comorbidity-positive and comorbidity-negative groups, whereas the eGFR calculated using Jm-MDRD (eGFR/Jm-MDRD) and Jm-eGFR (eGFR/Jm-eGFR) detected only 3 and 1 comorbidities, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of Jm-CKD-EPI was larger than those of Jm-eGFR and Jm-MDRD for all five comorbidities. Conclusion We found that the eGFR/Jm-CKD-EPI correlated better with comorbidities than the eGFR/Jm-eGFR and eGFR/Jm-MDRD in Japanese LKT donors. We recommend using the eGFR/Jm-CKD-EPI for the initial assessment of the renal function in LKT donor candidates when evaluating the presence of associated comorbidities.
