Workforce Detachment in Persons with CKD.
Observational study in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN, 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
key pointsIn this study, we identified individuals in the workforce with estimated kidney function based on sequential serum creatinine measurements. Individuals with CKD were more likely to experience workforce detachment. The risk of workforce detachment was graded according to CKD severity. These findings were persistent irrespective of age, sex, diabetes status, and level of education.
backgroundImpaired kidney function is associated with mortality, cardiovascular events, and hospitalization as well as diminished functional capacity and health-related quality of life. We hypothesized that kidney function would be linked to employment status, which itself is closely linked to financial stability, physical and mental health, and personal identity.
methodsBy the use of weekly updated information of patients' occupational status, combined with laboratory data and nationwide registries on hospitalizations and deaths, we estimated kidney function in a working age population (18-60 years) to examine the absolute risk of workforce detachment by CKD status and CKD stage using the Aalen-Johansen estimator accounting for competing risks of retirement, and death.
resultsWe identified 12,704 individuals with CKD and 68,938 matched individuals without CKD in the workforce at index date. Persons with CKD had a higher absolute risk of workforce detachment (1-year absolute risk: 9% versus 5%, P < 0.001); the absolute risk was higher with more advanced CKD: (1-year absolute risk: eGFR >60 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 =5%; CKD stages G3a=8%, G3b=12%, G4=14%, and G5=20%). Older age, female sex, diabetes, and lower level of education were associated with higher likelihood of workforce detachment. Findings related to kidney function were persistent across all subgroups examined.
conclusionsPersons with CKD were significantly more likely to experience workforce detachment than persons with normal or near normal kidney function. These data highlight another, less well-documented burden of CKD, highlighting the urgency to develop and disseminate early detection and treatment interventions.
