Associations between obesity, weight change and decreased renal function in Korean type 2 diabetic patients: a longitudinal follow-up study.
Article in BMC endocrine disorders, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundWe aimed to examine the associations between the risk of decreased renal function, obesity, and weight changes in Korean type 2 diabetic patients with normal renal function.
methodsType 2 diabetic patients (n = 1060) who visited the diabetic clinic at Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital between 2001 and 2007 with follow up surveys completed in 2016 to 2017 were recruited into the study. Decreased renal function was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m
resultsThis study revealed that baseline obesity was associated with the risk of decreased renal function after adjusting for clinical variables in type 2 diabetic patients (odds ratio [OR] 1.40; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.08-2.04; p = 0.025). Follow-up (mean = 12 years) revealed that weight gain > 10% was associated with the risk of decreased renal function after adjusting for clinical variables in type 2 diabetic patients with normal renal function at baseline (OR 1.43; CI 1.11-2.00; p = 0.016). Weight loss was not associated with the risk of decreased renal function in type 2 diabetic patients with normal renal function at baseline.
conclusionsBaseline obesity was associated with the increased risk of decreased renal function in Korean type 2 diabetic patients with normal renal function. Weight gain > 10% independently predicted the risk of decreased renal function. Large prospective studies are needed to clarify causal associations between obesity, weight change, and decreased renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes.
