Dysphagia and the prevalence of chronic kidney disease: a cross-sectional study.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeWith an aging global population, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has increased. Dysphagia is a major challenge in this population. However, little information is available regarding the association between dysphagia and the prevalence of CKD. We aimed to evaluate whether a severity-dependent association exists between dysphagia and CKD.
methodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study included 520 patients, aged ≥ 65 years, who had been admitted to Izumo Medical Life Cooperative Izumo-shimin Hospital from April 2022 to May 2023. Dysphagia was assessed using a modified water swallowing test with a rating scale of 1-5. A score of 1-3 represented dysphagia. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤ 60 mL/min/1.73 m
resultsCKD was observed in 19 (38.0%), 246 (57.9%), and 28 (62.2%) patients with normal deglutition, nearly normal deglutition, and dysphagia, respectively. Multivariable-adjusted models showed that dysphagia was associated with the prevalence of CKD (adjusted odds ratios of patients with dysphagia vs. those with normal deglutition: 2.51 (95% confidence interval, 1.01-6.20) Additionally, a severity-dependent association between dysphagia and the prevalence of CKD was observed [1.00 (reference), 1.76 (0.92-3.36), 2.43 (0.96-6.16), and 3.24 (0.42-25.0) in patients with no, almost no, mild, and moderate-to-severe dysphagia, respectively; p for trend = 0.044].
conclusionsDysphagia was associated with the prevalence of CKD in a severity-dependent manner.
