Relationship between Kidney Function and Subclinical Atherosclerosis Progression Evaluated by Coronary Artery Calcification.
Article in Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
aimsThe roles of urinary albumin, eGFRcystatin (eGFRcys), and eGFRcreatinine (eGFRcre) in the progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) remain unclear. Therefore, the present study investigated the relationship between kidney function and CAC progression.
methodsA total of 760 Japanese men aged 40-79 years were enrolled in this population-based study. Kidney function was measured using eGFRcre, eGFRcys, and the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio. CAC scores were calculated using the Agatston method. CAC progression was defined as an annual increase of ＞10 Agatston units (AU) among men with 0＜CAC＜100 AU at baseline, that of ＞10% among those with CAC ≥ 100 AU, and any progression for those with CAC=0 at baseline. The relative risk (RR) of CAC progression based on kidney function was assessed using a robust Poisson regression model.
resultsThe mean follow-up period was 4.9 years. CAC progression was detected in 45.8% of participants. Positive associations between CAC progression and albuminuria (＞30mg/g) (RR: 1.29; 1.09 to 1.53; p=0.004) and low eGFRcys (＜60ml/min/1.73m
conclusionCAC progression was associated with albuminuria; however, its relationship with eGFRcys was weakened by adjustments for risk factors.
