1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPrevious clinical studies have shown that various measures of glucose metabolism are associated with a risk of chronic kidney disease in different populations, but results were not consistent. In this study we assessed measures of glucose metabolism and their association with kidney function in a population-based study.

methodsThe Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity study is a population-based cohort study of middle-aged men and women. We categorized the study population according to glycaemic levels into normoglycaemia (reference group), pre-diabetes mellitus (pre-DM), known DM and newly diagnosed DM. Outcome variables were serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), glomerular hyperfiltration (defined as an eGFR >90th percentile; >102 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsOf the total population (

conclusionsBoth fasting and post-prandial glucose and HOMA-B, but not measures of insulin resistance, were associated with glomerular hyperfiltration, while fasting glucose was also associated with microalbuminuria.
