The Correlation Between Plasma Bilirubin Concentrations and Glomerular Filtration Rate and Creatinine in Type 2 Diabetes with Renal Damage.
Article in Medical archives (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina), 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
Background: Diabetic nephropathy is one of the causes of chronic kidney disease with a very complex mechanism, in which oxidative stress plays an important role and bilirubin acts as an effective antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by oxidative stress. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between plasma bilirubin concentration with glomerular filtration rate and creatinine in patients with type 2 diabetes with renal damage. Methods: Total amount of 60 patients with type 2 diabetes with renal damage. Study design was descriptive. Results: Mean age 64.1±4.76. The rate of decreased glomerular filtration rate was 86.7% and increased albuminuria accounted for 96.7%. The concentration of total bilirubin in plasma decreased correspondingly to the decrease in glomerular filtration rate. The concentration of total, free and conjugated bilirubin was negatively correlated with creatinine concentration (r=-0.48), (r=-0.37), (r=-0.34) and positively correlated with glomerular filtration rate (r=0.54), (r=0.45), (r=0.41) with p<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of total bilirubin concentration was 0.7, lower than the area under the curve (AUC) of creatinine concentration 0.8, uric acid 0.74. Conclusion: Plasma bilirubin concentration is inversely correlated with creatinine concentration and positively correlated with glomerular filtration rate.
