The Association of Antiemetics Use With Incident Chronic Kidney Disease.

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
objectivesGastrointestinal symptoms can significantly impact patients' nutritional status. Effective management using antiemetics is crucial for maintaining adequate nutrition. However, the effect of antiemetics on long-term renal function remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the association of antiemetics with the incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with normal renal function.
methodsIn a historical cohort study involving 323,970 US Veterans with normal estimated glomerular filtration rate, we identified 13,154 Veterans initiating antiemetics. The Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for demographics, major comorbidities, and laboratory measurements was used to estimate the relationship between antiemetics and the incident CKD, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m
resultsThe mean age of nonusers and users of antiemetics was 64.1 ± 14.2 and 62.1 ± 12.9 years. Antiemetic users were more likely to be female, smokers, and had a higher prevalence of comorbidities. Antiemetic use was associated with an increased risk of incident CKD across various models: unmatched adjusted (hazard ratio [HR] 1.26; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22-1.31), PS matched (HR 1.22; 95% CI 1.17-1.28), and PS overlap weighting (HR 1.28; 95% CI 1.18-1.46).
conclusionsAntiemetic use is associated with a higher risk of incident CKD in individuals without preexisting kidney disease. This association appears robust across different analytical models. While antiemetics are essential for managing gastrointestinal symptoms-potentially improving nutritional status-the results underscore the necessity for careful monitoring of renal function in patients prescribed antiemetics.
