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
backgroundThe prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is estimated to be about 13.4% worldwide. Studies have shown that CKD accounts for up to 2% of the health cost burden. Various factors, such as genetic polymorphisms, metabolic disorders, and unhealthy lifestyles, can contribute to the occurrence of CKD. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between renal function and cardiometabolic risk factors, anthropometric characteristics, and the dietary inflammatory index (DII) in an Iranian population.
methodsThis study was conducted on 2472 male and female employees of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS), selected through census between 2018 and 2019. In this cross-sectional study, renal function was evaluated using serum creatinine (sCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Biochemical indices including sCr, BUN, fasting blood sugar (FBS), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglyceride (TG) were measured using standard laboratory methods. eGFR was calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula. Systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure as well as anthropometric indices such as height (Ht), weight (Wt), hip circumference (HC), waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), conicity index (C-Index), visceral adiposity index (VAI), abdominal volume index (AVI), body adiposity index (BAI), and body shape index (ABSI) were measured and calculated using standard methods and formulas. Diet was evaluated through a 113-item food frequency questionnaire, and the DII was calculated according to its specific instructions. To predict the factors influencing renal function and to remove the impact of confounders, multivariable linear regression was employed using the backward elimination method.
resultsThere was a significant direct relationship between sCr and FBS, TG, HDL, DBP, Wt, and BAI as well as between BUN and age, TG, HDL, and BAI. In addition, there was a significant inverse relationship between eGFR and SBP, Wt, BAI, and VAI. In women compared to men, sCr and BUN values were significantly lower, while eGFR levels were significantly higher.
conclusionsIt seems that age, gender, lipid profile, glycemic status, BP, BAI, VAI, and Wt can be considered factors associated with renal function.
