Clinical Significance of Adjusting the Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate by an Individual's Body Surface Area from the Perspective of the Cardio-ankle Vascular Index: A Cross-sectional Study.
Article in Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimA decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is associated with vascular dysfunction, a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, since the eGFR is based on the standard body surface area (BSA) of 1.73 m
methodsThis cross-sectional analysis was conducted in a total of 58,837 Japanese individuals. The BSA-adjusted eGFR (mL/min) was defined as the product of the conventional eGFR and the individual's BSA divided by 1.73 m
resultsCompared with the eGFR, the BSA-adjusted eGFR showed higher values in males in their 20s to 50s and lower values in females of all ages. The BSA-adjusted eGFR showed a stronger negative correlation with the CAVI than the eGFR (R: -0.444 vs. -0.388 in males, -0.449 vs. -0.416 in females). In a receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis, the discriminative power for a high CAVI was stronger for the BSA-adjusted eGFR than for the eGFR (area under the curve: 0.776 vs. 0.723 in males, 0.757 vs. 0.716 in females). The upper tertile of the BSA-adjusted eGFR showed higher odds ratios for a high CAVI than that of the eGFR in both sexes, after adjusting for covariates.
conclusionsThe BSA-adjusted eGFR appropriately assesses the kidney function according to differences in sex, age and body size. Furthermore, a CAVI analysis suggested that the BSA-adjusted eGFR might facilitate the achievement of more precise preventive care for CVD.
