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

purposeTo elucidate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline associated with aging in healthy Chinese elderly over 65 years old.

methodsThe analysis included 5375 individuals aged 65 and older from the Pujing Community in Shanghai, China. Individuals with diabetes, hypertension, current smoking, obesity, hyperlipidemia, proteinuria, or a history of stroke or cardiovascular disease as the unhealthy cohort were excluded from the healthy cohort. We analyzed the levels and changes of eGFR at different ages to determine the effects of aging on eGFR.

resultsThe mean eGFR for healthy subjects aged 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-84, and ≥ 85 years were 89.88, 85.36, 81.89, 72.08, and 71.87, respectively. These values were significantly higher than those for unhealthy subjects of the same age: 86.71, 82.21, 77.66, 66.55, and 57.97 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionThe eGFR in healthy subjects over 65 years old in Shanghai, China declined at a rate of 0.999 mL/min/1.73 m
