Association of glyphosate exposure with kidney function impairment in the adolescents and young adults' population in the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2013 to 2016.

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
Objectives: Recently, glyphosate has gained extensive utilization as a global herbicide. In vivo and in vitro studies suggest that glyphosate can affect kidney function, but the human evidence is scarce. The study seeks to assess the association between glyphosate exposure and kidney function within the general U.S. populace by analysing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2013 to 2016. Methods: Data derived from 1614 participants aged 12 to 40 years were employed. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) functioned as key markers for the assessment of kidney function. Multivariable linear regression models were established to assess associations of urinary glyphosate levels with UACR and eGFR. Log-binomial regression models were conducted to evaluate the risks of impaired kidney function in connection with urinary glyphosate concentrations. Results: The study disclosed that approximately 74.6% of the examined population in U.S. manifested detectable glyphosate levels in urine. The geometric mean values and 95% confidence interval (CI) of traditional and novel creatinine-adjusted glyphosate were 0.33 ng/mg creatinine (95% CI: 0.32, 0.34) and 0.38 ng/mL creatinine (95% CI: 0.37, 0.40), respectively. Notably, individuals in the fourth quartile of glyphosate exposure displayed a decrement of 0.06 mL/min/1.73 m² (95% CI: -0.13, -0.00) in eGFR, compared with participants in the first quartile of exposure, after adjusting for confounding factors. Conclusions: The study suggests a negative association between urinary glyphosate concentrations and eGFR. In contrast, individuals characterized by high levels of glyphosate exposure exhibited elevated UACR when compared with those with low glyphosate exposure.
