Association between physical activity and risk of renal function decline and mortality in community-dwelling older adults: a nationwide population-based cohort study.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundPhysical activity (PA) is an important risk factor associated with health outcomes. However, the relationship between PA and kidney function decline in older adults remains unclear. We examined the influence of PA on kidney function decline and mortality in community-dwelling older adults.
methodsAdults aged ≥ 65 years with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 60 mL/min/1.73 m
resultsAmong 102,353 subjects, 32,984 (32.23%), 54,267 (53.02%), and 15,102 (14.75%) were classified into the inactive, low-active, and active groups, respectively. The active group was younger, contained a higher proportion of men, and had higher frequencies of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, drinking, and smoking than the other groups. The active group had significantly lower incidence rates of mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and kidney function decline than the other groups (all p < 0.001). The active group also showed lower all-cause (hazard ratio [HR], 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.70-0.82) and cardiovascular mortality (HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.53-0.78) and protection against ≥ 50% eGFR decline (HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.68-0.97) compared with the inactive group in the fully adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression model.
conclusionsHigh PA was an independent modifiable lifestyle factor for reducing mortality and protecting against declines in kidney function in older adults.
