Genome-wide association analysis of cystatin c and creatinine kidney function in Chinese women.
Article in BMC medical genomics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundWith increasing incidence and treatment costs, chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become an important public health problem in China, especially in females. However, the genetic determinants are very limited. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on creatinine is commonly used as a measure of renal function but can be easily affected by other factors. In contrast, eGFR based on both creatinine and cystatin C (eGFRcr-cys) improved the diagnostic accuracy of CKD. To our knowledge, no genome-wide association analysis of eGFRcr-cys has been conducted in the Chinese population.
methodsBy conducting a Genome-Wide association study(GWAS), a method used to identify associations between genetic regions (genomes) and traits/diseases, we examined the relationship between genetic factors and eGFRcr-cys in Chinese women, with 1983 participants and 3,838,121 variants included in the final analysis.
resultOne significant locus (20p11.21) was identified in the Chinese female population, which has been reported to be associated with eGFR based on cystatin C (eGFRcys) in the European population. More importantly, we found two new suggestive loci (1p31.1 and 11q24.2), which have not yet been reported. A total of three single nucleotide polymorphisms were identified as the most important variants in these regions, including rs2405367 (CST3), rs66588571(KRT8P21), and rs626995 (OR8B2).
conclusionWe identified 3 loci 20p11.21, 1p31.1, and 11q24.2 to be significantly associated with eGFRcr-cys. These findings and subsequent functional analysis describe new biological clues related to renal function in Chinese women and provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment development of CKD.
