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

Current genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for kidney function lack ancestral diversity, limiting the applicability to broader populations. The East-Asian population is especially under-represented, despite having the highest global burden of end-stage kidney disease. We conducted a meta-analysis of multiple GWASs (n = 244,952) on estimated glomerular filtration rate and a replication dataset (n = 27,058) from Taiwan and Japan. This study identified 111 lead SNPs in 97 genomic risk loci. Functional enrichment analyses revealed that variants associated with F12 gene and a missense mutation in ABCG2 may contribute to chronic kidney disease (CKD) through influencing inflammation, coagulation, and urate metabolism pathways. In independent cohorts from Taiwan (n = 25,345) and the United Kingdom (n = 260,245), polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for CKD significantly stratified the risk of CKD (p < 0.0001). Further research is required to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of PRS
