Association of combined left and right handgrip strength with new-onset chronic kidney disease in middle-aged and older adults: a nationwide multicenter cohort study.
Observational study in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 role of multi-site muscle strength in the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains largely unknown. This study aims to investigate the association of combined left and right handgrip strength (CHS) with new-onset CKD in middle-aged and older adults.
methodsThis observational multicenter study included 4618 community-dwelling adults without CKD at baseline in 2011. CHS (kg) was assessed at baseline and participants were followed in 2013, 2015, and 2018 to track CKD incidents. Sex-specific thresholds for low CHS were determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Restricted cubic spline analysis, survival analysis and multivariable-adjusted Cox regression models were used to analyze the association between CHS and new-onset CKD.
resultsThe study included 2526 women and 2092 men (median age = 58.87 years). During the seven-year follow-up, 503 (10.89%) new CKD cases occurred. CHS was associated with new-onset CKD in both men (P = 0.021) and women (P = 0.009) in a linear-like manner (both P nonlinearity > 0.05). The optimal thresholds for CHS to predict CKD incidents were 96.15 kg for men and 57.90 kg for women. Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated that prolonged CHS were positively associated with new-onset CKD in both men (P < 0.001) and women (P = 0.001). Low CHS, defined using the optimal thresholds, was independently associated with an increased risk of CKD (HR = 1.824, 95% CI = 1.379 to 2.413). This relationship was strengthened in participants with a BMI classification of normal (HR = 2.878, 95% CI = 1.732 to 4.782, P interaction = 0.032) at baseline, as well as those without diabetes (HR = 2.048, 95% CI = 1.514 to 2.771, P interaction = 0.019).
conclusionsThis study demonstrated a longitudinal association between CHS and new-onset CKD in middle-aged and older Chinese adults. These findings highlight the potential of early-life multi-site muscle strength interventions for the prevention of CKD.
