Association between Genetic Risk and the Renal Function for Developing Venous Thromboembolism.
Article in Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimsThe impact of a reduced renal function on the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains controversial. The association between VTE and the renal function, as well as genetic susceptibility, requires further clarification in a large population.
methodsThis study included 358,723 participants with non-renal failure from the UK Biobank. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the risk of VTE incidence associated with the renal function at baseline were estimated using the Cox proportional hazards model. In addition, the relationship between the renal function and cumulative risk of VTE was visualized using Kaplan-Meier curves and restricted cubic spline (RCS). Furthermore, this study investigated the combined effects and interactions between the renal function and genetic susceptibility on the risk of VTE onset.
resultsRenal function biomarkers in the highest quartile levels for urine creatinine, serum creatinine, urea, urate, cystatin C, and urine microalbumin and lowest quartile levels for the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were associated with an elevated risk of VTE onset. For the joint analysis with genetic susceptibility, participants with both high levels of renal function biomarkers (a low eGFR) and high genetic risk had the highest risk of developing VTE, with an HR (95% CI) of 2.83 (2.46-3.26) for urine creatinine, 2.72 (2.37-3.13) for serum creatinine, 2.49 (2.18-2.84) for urea, and 2.63 (2.26-3.05) for urate, 3.52 (3.01-4.13) for cystatin C, 2.90 (2.33-3.60) for urine microalbumin, and 3.37 (2.86-3.98) for the eGFR.
conclusionsA decreased renal function increases the risk of VTE and genetic susceptibility has a positive additive effect on VTE risk. This suggests that biomarkers of the renal function may be used as predictors of VTE, especially in populations with genetic susceptibility to VTE.
