A retrospective cohort study of clinical characteristics and outcomes of type 2 diabetic patients with kidney disease.
Article in PeerJ, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a serious health threat and becomes a new challenge. T2DM patients with CKD fall into three categories, diabetic nephropathy (DN), non-diabetic kidney disease (NDKD), and diabetic nephropathy plus non-diabetic kidney disease (DN + NDKD), according to kidney biopsy. The purpose of our study was to compare the clinical characteristics and kidney outcomes of DN, NDKD, and DN + NDKD patients. Methods: Data on clinical characteristics, pathological findings, and prognosis were collected from June 2016 to July 2022 in patients with previously diagnosed T2DM and confirmed DN and or NDKD by kidney biopsy at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, China. The endpoint was defined as kidney transplantation, dialysis, or a twofold increase in serum creatinine. Results: In our 6-year retrospective cohort research, a total of 268 diabetic patients were admitted and categorized into three groups by kidney biopsy. The 268 patients were assigned to DN ( Conclusions: This research based on a Chinese cohort demonstrated that the risk of endpoint events differed among DN, NDKD, and DN+NDKD patients. In T2DM patients with CKD, DN patients displayed worse kidney prognosis than those with NDKD or DN + NDKD. Increased SBP, higher glycosylated hemoglobin, lower Hb, and decreased serum ALB may be correlated with adverse kidney outcomes in T2DM patients.
