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

introductionLittle is known about the relationship between pulse pressure (PP) and incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Asian populations, particularly when analyzed separately by hypertension status.

aimThis study aimed to assess the association between PP and subsequent onset of CKD in Japanese adults.

methodsThis longitudinal study included middle-aged and older Japanese citizens who participated in administrative checkups (1998-2024) conducted by Zentsuji City. The relationship between PP (diastolic blood pressure subtracted from systolic blood pressure) and incident CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsAmong 15,788 participants, 8881 (men: 42.7%) were examined in the study. The mean follow-up time was 6.21 years for non-hypertensive participants and 6.27 years for hypertensive participants. Higher PP was associated with higher rate of CKD incidence regardless of prevalent hypertension. In non-hypertensive participants, PP ≥ 60 mmHg had a 10% shorter time to CKD onset (95% confidence interval: 3-16%) compared with PP < 40 mmHg. In hypertensive participants, attenuated results were observed, with all 95% confidence intervals crossing the null value.

conclusionsElevated PP may serve as a useful indicator for CKD development in non-hypertensive Japanese subjects. Regular BP monitoring may assist in developing public health strategies for CKD prevention, especially among non-hypertensive Asian populations.
