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

Background: During the last decade, evidence has emerged on selective glomerular hypofiltration syndromes (SGHS), defined by selectively reduced filtration of middle-sized molecules irrespective of kidney function and resulting in a low ratio between cystatin C- and creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRcys/eGFRcr). We aimed to examine whether SGHS is a hallmark of premature kidney ageing manifested by accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and endothelial dysfunction in a population free from chronic kidney disease and diabetes. Methods: A total of 3804 participants of The Malmö Offspring Study (MOS) underwent AGE (skin autofluorescence acquired), eGFRcys and eGFRcr measurements. AGEs ≥1.6 were categorized as high, and AGEs <1.6 as normal. Reactive hyperemia index (RHI) was available in 2204 participants; RHI <1.67 indicated endothelial dysfunction (ED), and RHI ≥1.67 normal endothelial function (EF). Combining AGEs and RHI, four groups were compared: (group 1) AGEs <1.6 and EF, (group 2) AGEs <1.6 and ED, (group 3) AGEs ≥1.6 and EF, and (group 4) AGEs ≥1.6 and ED. Results: Lower eGFRcys/eGFRcr ratio was associated with an increase in AGEs in men and women. After adjusting for cardiovascular factors, lower eGFRcys/eGFRcr ratio was associated with AGE accumulation in men older than 30 years. The 'AGEs ≥1.6 and ED' and 'AGEs ≥1.6 and EF' groups showed the highest prevalence of eGFRcys/eGFRcr under 0.9 (in men, 22% vs 19.7%, in women 19.5% vs 16%, respectively). Conclusions: Accumulation of AGEs resulting from SGHS leads to age dependent changes in glomerular basement membrane and increased selectivity for middle-sized molecules. Presence of these findings in younger individuals supports the hypothesis that SGHS is a model of early kidney ageing, occurring before decline in kidney function.
