Comparison of 24-h Urine Protein, Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio, and Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio in IgA Nephropathy.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Background: Proteinuria is a strong risk factor for renal outcomes in IgA nephropathy. Random urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (PCR), random albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), and 24-h urine protein excretion (24-h UP) have been widely used in clinical practice. However, the measurement which is the best predictor of long-term renal outcomes remains controversial. This study aimed to compare the three measurements in IgA nephropathy. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 766 patients with IgA nephropathy. The associations among baseline ACR, PCR, and 24-h UP with chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression event, defined as 50% estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline or end stage kidney disease (ESKD), were tested and compared. Results: In this study, ACR, PCR, and 24-h UP showed high correlation ( Conclusions: In IgA nephropathy, ACR, PCR, and 24-h UP had a high correlation. ACR performed better in predicting the prognosis of IgA nephropathy.
