Chronic Kidney Disease Frequently Observed in Adults With Spina Bifida.

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
objectivesWe evaluated the association between chronic kidney disease and the current and background conditions of adults with spina bifida.
methodsPatients with spina bifida (group A, n = 34) and patients with a history of pediatric encephalitis or spinal cord injury (group B, n = 23) who were older than 18 years between January 2013 and August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The chronic kidney disease-free survival was compared between groups. In each group, the congenital or pediatric background conditions (gender, disease type, history of febrile urinary tract infection, bladder augmentation, vesico-ureteral reflux, or detrusor overactivity) and current background conditions (age at last follow-up, ambulatory status, hypertension, and albuminuria) were compared between patients with or without chronic kidney disease.
resultsThe median age was 37 years (range 20-67 years). The median chronic kidney disease-free survival was younger in group A than group B (48.0 vs. 65.0 years, p = 0.0027). In group A, chronic kidney disease was associated with pediatric febrile urinary tract infection (p = 0.0018) and vesico-ureteral reflux (p = 0.0090), current hypertension (p < 0.001), and albuminuria (p = 0.0053). Multivariate analysis showed only hypertension was significantly associated with chronic kidney disease.
conclusionYoung to middle-aged adults with spina bifida with a history of pediatric febrile urinary tract infection or vesico-ureteral reflux and those with current hypertension or albuminuria have an increased risk of chronic kidney disease, suggesting the need for renal function monitoring.
