Lower Podocyte Number per Glomerulus Associates With Progressive CKD.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: Podocyte depletion may play an important role in chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, longitudinal clinical studies are lacking in populations without obesity-related glomerulopathy. Methods: Patients studied underwent radical nephrectomy for tumors between 2000 and 2021 and had < 10% interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) on histology. Cases who developed progressive CKD were identified by the onset of dialysis, kidney transplantation, sustained estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 10 ml/min per 1.73 m Results: There were 35 CKD cases and 35 controls studied. Cases versus controls did not differ significantly by BMI (mean: 29.1 vs. 28.2 kg/m Conclusion: Low podocyte number per glomerulus is associated with the development of progressive CKD independent of CKD risk factors, kidney function, glomerular volume, and nephrosclerosis severity.
