Estimating the prevalence of definitive chronic kidney disease in the Japanese general population.
Observational study in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMost data on chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence has been based on single measurements of renal function and proteinuria. The aim was to determine the prevalence of CKD diagnosed by chronic proteinuria and/or reduced eGFR in a recent year in Japan.
methodsIn the main study, using a population-based cohort in Japan, the overall prevalence of CKD, defined as persistent positive proteinuria and/or eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m
resultsDefinitive CKD was present in 2.3-23.0% of men and 1.7-17.1% of women age from 40 to 74 years in the main cohort. The estimated prevalence of reduced eGFR and/or proteinuria in the baseline year alone was 15.7% in men and 13.6% in women; the prevalence of definitive CKD was 10.9% in men and 9.2% in women. The number of CKD cases based on a single-year test in Japanese adults over 20 years of age increased from 13.3 million to 14.8 million between 2005 and 2015.
conclusionsRecent changes in prevalence of CKD seem to be mainly caused by an increase in Japan's elderly population. Although past reports may lead to overdiagnosis of CKD by a single-year test, the estimated number of definitive CKD was 10.2 million in 2015.
