Association between intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder with kidney failure.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 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
backgroundEvidence regarding the risk of incident kidney failure based on developmental disabilities remains scarce. Accordingly, we examined the risk of kidney failure in individuals with intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
methodsThis retrospective cohort study used data from the National Disability Registry of Korea and identified all individuals registered with ID/ASD between 2004 and 2020. In total, 155,729 individuals with ID and 22,385 with ASD and their age- and sex-matched controls (n = 467,187, and 67,155, respectively) were included and followed up until December 2023. Cox proportional hazard analyses were performed to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the risk of kidney failure in individuals with ID/ASD compared with controls.
resultsA total of 1,058 kidney failure events were identified in the ID cohort (687 ID and 371 controls) and 20 events in the ASD cohort (16 ASD and 4 controls). Individuals with developmental disabilities had a higher kidney failure risk than controls, with adjusted HRs (95% CIs) of 5.50 (4.75-6.36) for ID and 8.62 (2.68-27.74) for ASD. In subgroup analyses, both ID and ASD were associated with an increased risk of kidney failure in most subgroups. Age, sex, income level, and comorbidities showed a significant interaction with ID in relation to kidney failure risk (all p < 0.01), whereas no significant interaction was observed between baseline characteristics and ASD.
conclusionsIndividuals with ID and ASD had an increased risk of incident kidney failure. Tailored preventive strategies against kidney failure are warranted for this population.
