A decline in renal function is associated with a reduction in myocardial mechano-energetic efficiency in individuals at high cardiometabolic risk.

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
backgroundHeart failure and chronic kidney disease are closely interrelated conditions with rising global prevalence and incidence. Depressed myocardial mechano-energetic efficiency (MEE), reflecting the left ventricle's capacity to convert chemical energy from oxidative metabolism into mechanical work, is recognized as an early marker of systolic dysfunction. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and myocardial MEE in individuals at high cardiometabolic risk.
methodsMyocardial MEE per gram of left ventricular mass (MEEi) (mL/sec*g
resultsIndividuals with mildly to severely reduced eGFR (G2, G3 and G4 categories) exhibited a significant reduction in myocardial MEEi compared to the G1 group. In multivariate linear regression analyses, declining eGFR remained significantly associated with reduced MEEi, even after adjusting for a broad range of cardiometabolic confounders, including age, sex, BMI, lipid profile, glucose tolerance status, hsCRP, HOMA-IR index, and the use of glucose-lowering, antihypertensive, and lipid-lowering medications.
conclusionsOur findings demonstrate that a consistent reduction in renal function across eGFR categories is independently associated with reduced myocardial MEEi in individuals with high cardiometabolic risk suggesting that even a mild decline in nearly normal renal function may contribute to altered myocardial energetics.
