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

objectiveThe impact of the difference between cystatin C- and creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRdiff) on diabetic microvascular complications (DMCs) remains unknown. We investigated the associations of eGFRdiff with overall DMCs and subtypes, including diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and diabetic neuropathy (DN). RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsThis prospective cohort study included 25,825 participants with diabetes free of DMCs at baseline (2006 to 2010) from the UK Biobank. eGFRdiff was calculated using both absolute difference (eGFRabdiff) and the ratio (eGFRrediff) between cystatin C- and creatinine-based calculations. Incidence of DMCs was ascertained using electronic health records. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate the associations of eGFRdiff with overall DMCs and subtypes.

resultsDuring a median follow-up of 13.6 years, DMCs developed in 5,753 participants, including 2,752 cases of DR, 3,203 of DKD, and 1,149 of DN. Each SD decrease of eGFRabdiff was associated with a 28% higher risk of overall DMCs, 14% higher risk of DR, 56% higher risk of DKD, and 29% higher risk of DN. For each 10% decrease in eGFRrediff, the corresponding hazard ratios (95% CIs) were 1.16 (1.14, 1.18) for overall DMCs, 1.08 (1.05, 1.11) for DR, 1.29 (1.26, 1.33) for DKD, and 1.17 (1.12, 1.22) for DN. The magnitude of associations was not materially altered in any of the sensitivity analyses.

conclusionsLarge eGFRdiff was independently associated with risk of DMCs and its subtypes. Our findings suggested monitoring eGFRdiff in the diabetes population has potential benefit for identification of high-risk patients.
