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

backgroundIn 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake hit the Futaba District on the northeast coast of Japan, followed by a tsunami and a nuclear power plant accident. In this study, we investigated the impact of post-earthquake life on the onset of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among the residents of the Futaba District.

methodsData on 17,859 residents of the Futaba District (7333 men, 10,526 women; mean age: 61.0 ± 10.2 years; mean follow-up period: 3.42 ± 1.51 years) who underwent health checkups and completed self-administered questionnaires in the Fukushima Mental Health and Lifestyle Survey were analyzed. These residents were confirmed to be CKD-free in 2012. Hence, they were assessed for the onset of CKD from 2013 to 2017.

resultsUnivariate analysis results showed significant differences between residents with and without CKD. Differences in age, diabetes mellitus, body mass index (BMI), dyslipidemia, hypertension, hyperuricemia, Kessler 6 Psychological Distress Scale (K6) score, smoking habit, alcohol drinking history, exercise habit, history of job change, history of job loss, and evacuation experience were observed. Multivariate analysis was conducted to adjust for multiple factors, and age, BMI, dyslipidemia, hypertension, hyperuricemia, and K6 score were identified as significant promotional factors for CKD onset.

conclusionAmong the well-recognized risk factors, severe stress reflected by a high K6 score was established to be correlated with CKD onset among residents originally without CKD. Stress management may be another treatment strategy for treating CKD.
