Why do we keep ignoring sex in kidney disease?
Review in Clinical kidney journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Throughout the history of nephrology, little attention has been paid to the sex and gender differences in kidney disease. This lack of awareness prevents optimal diagnosis and management of kidney disease. In today's world of precision medicine, it is imperative to appreciate the differential factors regarding gender and kidney disease. This editorial summarizes the up-to-date literature regarding sex and gender differences in kidney disease and considers areas where knowledge is incomplete and where further research is needed. We address sex-specific effects on chronic kidney disease epidemiology; risks of dialysis underdosing and medication overdosing in women; unexplained loss of female sex advantage in life expectancy during dialysis, and impact of sex on diagnosis and management of genetic kidney disease. We also aim to highlight the impact of gender on kidney health and raise awareness of disparities that may be faced by women, and transgender and gender-diverse persons when a male-model approach is used by healthcare systems. By understanding the link between sex and kidney disease, kidney specialists can improve the care and outcomes of their patients. In addition, research on this topic can inform the development of targeted prevention and intervention strategies that address the specific needs and risk factors of different populations.
