Visceral Adipose Tissue Alters Podometrics and Renal Compensation After Uninephrectomy.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: Obesity is an established risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, excess visceral adipose tissue (VAT) termed visceral obesity (VO) can occur in individuals with normal body mass index (BMI) or overweight. VO is associated with impaired kidney function but its effect on kidney morphology remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the association of VO with glomerular ultrastructure, podocyte morphometry (podometrics), and the kidneys' ability for compensation after uninephrectomy in normal BMI and overweight individuals. Methods: VAT was retrospectively quantified in computed tomography (CT) of 52 patients (BMI < 30 kg/m Results: Of the 52 subjects with normal BMI or overweight, 35 were diagnosed with VO and exhibited a larger glomerular volume (2.6 ± 0.7 vs. 2.0 ± 0.5 ×10 Conclusion: VO was associated with glomerular and podocyte changes, and impaired kidney function compensation after nephrectomy in normal BMI and overweight individuals. These data suggest that VAT quantification could guide individual decision making in subjects planned for nephrectomy.
