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

aimsPrediabetes is a prevalent condition associated with increased cardiovascular and renal risk. However, the long-term impact of haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) within the range defined as prediabetes on kidney function remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between prediabetes and renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] and albuminuria) through cross-sectional and prospective analyses over 4 years in a cohort of individuals with no diagnosis of diabetes or established cardiovascular disease. MATERIALS AND

methodsAnalysis using data from 8153 participants in the ILERVAS cohort, a prospective cross-sectional study. Prediabetes was defined as HbA1c 5.7%-6.4% (ADA criteria). Kidney impairment was defined as eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsAt baseline, prediabetes was associated with higher kidney impairment prevalence (17.8% vs. 13.7%; p < 0.001), lower eGFR and increased ACR. Each 1% increase in HbA1c was linked to a 4.6 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionsHbA1c-defined prediabetes is independently associated with early renal impairment and accelerated kidney function decline. These findings support incorporating renal risk assessment in prediabetes and suggest HbA1c as a marker for chronic kidney disease prevention strategies.
