Longitudinal albuminuria patterns predict coronary artery calcification progression: Findings from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study.

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 AND
aimsAlbuminuria is an established risk factor for adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, few studies have characterized longitudinal albuminuria patterns based on long-term measurement of urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) levels. We aimed to evaluate the association between longitudinal albuminuria patterns in midlife adults and subsequent CAC progression.
methodsWe included 1919 participants with CAC assessment by computed tomography from CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) study. CAC progression was determined for each individual as the difference of logarithmic CAC scores at follow-up and baseline. Albuminuria patterns across a 10-year span were estimated by longitudinal UACR levels. Multivariable general linear models were used to evaluate the association of long-term albuminuria patterns with CAC progression.
resultsOf the 1919 included participants, 583 (30.4 %) participants experienced CAC progression, and the mean (SD) age was 50.4 (3.5) years at year 25. A total of four dynamic albuminuria patterns were identified. After multivariable adjustment, there were significant differences in CAC progression by albuminuria patterns as demonstrated as percent change in CAC with 36.0 % (SE, 1.5) progression for mid- and late-life normoalbuminuria group, 46.0 % (SE, 7.6) for midlife normoalbuminuria and late-life high albuminuria group, 52.4 % (SE, 7.1) for midlife high albuminuria and late-life normoalbuminuria group, and 54.5 % (SE, 8.7) for mid- and late-life high albuminuria group (p = 0.019). Similar findings were also observed in CAC volume score changes.
conclusionsLongitudinal albuminuria patterns across a 10-year span were associated with worse CAC progression independent of baseline CAC level and albuminuria changes, suggesting that it may provide early identification of high-risk individuals with dynamic rises in albuminuria who may benefit from aggressive risk factor modification.
