Female Reproductive and Gynecologic Considerations in Chronic Kidney Disease: Adolescence and Young Adulthood.
Review in Kidney international reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) increasingly affects younger people, including adolescents and young adults. CKD among females is accompanied by unique reproductive and gynecologic health concerns; though to date, this area has not been well studied. Hormonal disruptions attributed to CKD may underlie the high prevalence of abnormal uterine bleeding and influence the age of menarche in adolescents. Period poverty as a socioeconomic barrier further exacerbates the female-specific burdens of CKD. Reduced fertility in CKD is likely multifactorial and may be related to a reduction in ovarian reserve, reproductive hormone disturbances, and gonadotoxic medication use in addition to low sexual function and activity. Fertility, sexual function and activity, and risk of sexually transmitted infections increase with transplantation. Pregnancy is possible at any stage of CKD, although often accompanied by high risks of maternal and fetal complications. Contraception is thus an important consideration in CKD, but use is low and the risks and benefits of different forms in the setting of CKD are not well characterized. Though patients with CKD report reproductive health as an important element of care, many nephrologists report lack of confidence and training in this area, highlighting the need for targeted research and education. The unique reproductive health care needs of the growing transgender youth population warrant attention in nephrology training with multidisciplinary input. This review will discuss female reproductive health and gynecologic considerations in adolescents and young adults with CKD while proposing clinical and research strategies to improve this understudied yet important aspect of kidney care.
