Association of clinical characteristics with urine uromodulin in children with chronic kidney disease.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00327860 (Chronic Kidney Disease in Children Prospective Cohort Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
backgroundUromodulin is the most abundant protein in the urine of healthy adults, and higher urine concentrations mark better tubular health. Greater kidney size and function are predictors of higher uromodulin levels in adults. Urine uromodulin has not yet been studied in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Thus, we sought to determine the relationship between age and kidney function with urine uromodulin levels in children with CKD.
methodsIn the CKD in Children (CKiD) cohort, we utilized multivariable linear regression to evaluate the relationship of age and eGFR with urine uromodulin levels. The primary outcome was uromodulin indexed to urine creatinine (Umod/Cr, mg/g), which was log
resultsAmong 677 CKiD participants, the median age was 11.8 years (8.2-15.3), the median eGFR was 49 ml/min/1.73 m
conclusionsAmong children with CKD, older age is significantly associated with lower Umod/Cr, independent of eGFR. Further studies are needed to comprehensively evaluate age-specific reference ranges for urine uromodulin and to evaluate the longitudinal relationship of uromodulin with both age and eGFR in children with CKD. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
