1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 10% of the global population. This study investigated the correlation between ultrasonographically assessed perinephric fat volume (PrFV) and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) through a health screening of a Chinese population and explored the potential of the PrFV as a modifiable risk factor for CKD.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 213 adults aged 18 years or older from the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University. Demographic data, medical history, the results of anthropometric assessments, and laboratory data were collected. The PrFV was measured using ultrasonography. Univariate and multivariate regression models were used to assess the association between the PrFV and the eGFR.

resultsThe median age of the participants was 45.8 years, with a median eGFR of 83.6 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionThere was an independent negative correlation between the PrFV and the eGFR according to a population health screening. These findings suggest that an increase in the PrFV is associated with a decrease in the eGFR, warranting further investigation into the mechanistic role of perinephric fat in CKD.
