The impact of social determinants of health on chronic kidney disease risk: evidence from the CHARLS study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Empirical evidence regarding the relationship between social determinants of health (SDH) and renal outcomes remains limited. Consequently, the objective of this study was to investigate the potential association between SDH and the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) across various levels. Methods: Data were sourced from the 2011 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), which included 6,290 Chinese participants aged 40 years and older. Among these participants, 4,115 underwent a follow-up assessment in the 2015 survey. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of CKD, operationally defined as a reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate to <60 ml/min/1.73 m Results: The findings indicate that, in comparison to individuals with a pension, higher education, and no need for family support, the risk of developing CKD increased by 43, 49, and 52%, respectively. Furthermore, the combination of requiring family support, being unmarried, and lacking medical insurance was associated with an elevated incidence of CKD. Utilizing the counting model of adverse SDH indicators, it was observed that when the number of adverse SDH was equal to or greater than four, there was a significant increase in the risk of CKD. The incidence density of CKD was found to rise in correlation with the severity of adverse SDH, with the incidence density in the adverse SDH group being 0.06 per person-year higher than that in the favorable SDH group. After adjusting for multiple variables, the hazard ratio (HR) for incident CKD was 2.47 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.46-4.16] in the adverse SDH group compared to the favorable SDH group, a finding that persisted across various subgroups. Conclusion: Research indicates that financial support, pensions, education, marital status, and health insurance significantly impact CKD risk. Higher income, pension coverage, education, marital stability, and insurance lower this risk. Evaluating adverse SDH indicators helps assess individual SDH levels and CKD risk, with four or more indicators suggesting high risk. Therefore, adverse SDH measures can predict CKD.
