Association of Nephronophthisis 4 genetic variation with cardiorenal syndrome and cardiovascular events in Japanese general population: the Yamagata (Takahata) study.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundNephronophthisis (NPHP) 4 gene encoding nephrocystin-4, which contributes to end-stage renal disease in children and young adults, is involved in the development of the heart and kidneys. Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), which consists of bidirectional dysfunction of the heart and kidneys, is a risk factor for cardiovascular events. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the NPHP4 gene are reportedly associated with kidney function, even in adults. However, the association of NPHP4 gene variability with CRS and cardiovascular events remains unknown. METHODS AND
resultsThis prospective cohort study included 2946 subjects who participated in a community-based health study with a 16-year follow-up period. We genotyped 11 SNPs within the NPHP4 gene whose minor allele frequency was greater than 0.1 in the Japanese population. The SNP rs12058375 was significantly associated with CRS and cardiovascular events. Multivariate logistic analysis demonstrated a significant association between the homozygous A-allele of rs12058375 with the presence of CRS. Haplotype analysis identified the haplotype with the A-allele of rs12058375 as an increased susceptibility factor for CRS. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that homozygous A-allele carriers of rs12058375 had the greatest risk of developing cardiovascular events among the NPHP4 variants. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed that the homozygous A-allele and heterozygous carriers of rs12058375 were associated with cardiovascular events after adjusting for confounding factors. The net reclassification index and integrated discrimination index were significantly improved by the addition of rs12058375 as a cardiovascular risk factor.
conclusionGenetic variations in the NPHP4 gene were associated with CRS and cardiovascular events in the general population, suggesting that it may facilitate the early identification of high-risk subjects with CRS and cardiovascular events.
