Association between drinking patterns and diabetic kidney disease in United States adults: a cross-sectional study based on data from NHANES 1999-2016.

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
objectiveThis cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between drinking patterns and prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) among adults in the United States.
methodsData were analyzed from the NHANES surveys conducted between 1999 and 2016, including 26,473 participants. Drinking patterns were categorized by frequency (weekly, monthly, or yearly) and quantity (light, moderate, or heavy, based on daily consumption). Among participants with diabetes, DKD was defined using the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR ≥30 mg/g) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m
resultsDrinking patterns and DKD were analyzed among 26,473 US adults (mean age, 46.6 years; 53.7% male). After adjusting for multiple confounders, heavy alcohol consumption was associated with a higher risk of DKD than light drinking (OR = 1.23, 95% CI, 1.04-1.46;
conclusionThis study highlights the importance of drinking behavior in the management of diabetic kidney disease. Daily alcohol consumption was associated with an increased risk of DKD, whereas moderate alcohol consumption was associated with a reduced risk. These findings suggest that moderate drinking frequency may not exacerbate renal burden in individuals with diabetes and provide new perspectives for clinical interventions.
