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

Background: Aging is associated with a physiological decline in kidney function (KFD). In this study, we aimed to describe the impact of age on the rate of KFD and its interplay with risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD), considering mainly hypertension (HT), in the general population. Materials and methods: Participants of European descent, aged 35-75, were recruited from a populational cohort in Lausanne, Switzerland. Participants with a 10 year follow-up were selected. KFD was defined as the difference in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between baseline and follow-up, divided by the observation period. Multivariate linear regressions were used with KFD as the outcome and age as the main predictor. HT was tested as a modifying factor. Results: We included 4,163 participants with mean age 52.2 ± 10.4, 44.7% men, 31.9% HT, and 5.0% diabetics. Mean baseline eGFR was 85.9 ± 14.6 ml/min/1.73 m Conclusion: A physiological KFD is present over time in the general population. Age contributes non-linearly to the rate of this decline with older subjects declining the fastest. The presence of HT is a major contributing factor in this setting as KFD worsened with age only in hypertensive participants. Thus, HT represents an important pathological factor aggravating the age-related physiological decline in eGFR in the general population.
