Carbon footprints by stage of chronic kidney disease: The case of Japan.
Article in The journal of climate change and health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Introduction: The nexus between carbon footprints and chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression have not been clarified, so it has not been possible to examine the prevention of disease severity as a potential countermeasure for decarbonization. Material and methods: The study included 70,627 subjects aged 40-74 years and diagnosed with CKD stage by specific health checkups in 2014-2015. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Japan were formulated with the 2015 environmental input-output model. The carbon footprints by CKD stage were calculated with annual treatment cost according to renal function indicators, namely estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and proteinuria. Results: The annual carbon footprint per patient with induction of dialysis due to CKD was estimated to be 3.9 tCO Conclusion: Effective interventional treatments to prevent disease severity in CKD contribute to both the health of the patient and the mitigation of GHG emissions.
