Applicability of Creatinine-based equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate in elderly Chinese patients.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundThe accuracy of the estimated glomerular filter rate (eGFR) in elderly patients is debatable. In 2020, a new creatinine-based equation by European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) was applied to all age groups. The objective of this study was to assess the appropriateness of the new EKFC equation with Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), Lund-Malmö Revised (LMR), Berlin Initiative Study 1 (BIS1), and full age spectrum (FAS) equations based on serum creatinine (SCR) for elderly Chinese patients.
methodsA total of 612 elderly patients with a measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) by the dual plasma sample clearance method with Technetium-99 m-diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid (Tc-99 m-DTPA) were divided into four subgroups based on age, sex, mGFR, and whether combined with diabetes. The performance of GFR was assessed while considering bias, precision, accuracy, and root-mean-square error (RMSE). Bland-Altman plots, concordance correlation coefficients (CCCs), and correlation coefficients were applied to evaluate the validity of eGFR.
resultsThe median age of the 612 participants was 73 years, and 386 (63.1%) were male. Referring to mGFR (42.1 ml/min/1.73 m
conclusionsThis study suggested that the BIS1 equation was the most applicable for estimating GFR in Chinese elderly patients with moderate to severe renal impairment.
