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

backgroundNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used for pain management but are associated with nephrotoxicity, particularly in senior populations. While the acute nephrotoxicity of NSAIDs is well established, evidence on their long-term effects on renal function-particularly in community-dwelling older adults-has been mixed across studies.

objectivesThis study investigated the association between NSAID use and chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk in the general senior population.

methodsData from the National Health Insurance Service-Senior Cohort (NHIS-SC) in South Korea were analyzed, including 1812 participants (604 NSAID users and 1208 controls) matched 1:2 by propensity score. Kidney dysfunction was defined as glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73m

resultsNSAID use was associated with an increased CKD risk (HR 1.46; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.11-1.93) and faster eGFR decline. Subgroup analysis showed elevated risks for Cox-1 (HR 1.53) and Cox-2 inhibitors (HR 1.61). End-stage renal disease (ESRD) incidence was rare and not significant.

conclusionsNSAIDs increase CKD risk and accelerate kidney function decline in senior individuals. Cautious prescription and regular kidney monitoring are recommended, and further randomized trials are needed.
