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

BACKGROUND/

aimThis study aimed to investigate the association between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and a wide range of geriatric syndromes assessed by comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in older adults.

methodsIn this retrospective cross-sectional study, 1346 patients aged ≥ 60 years who underwent CGA in geriatric inpatient and outpatient clinics of a tertiary care hospital between January 2023 and January 2026 were included. Participants were categorized into four groups according to eGFR levels (≥ 90, 60-89, 30-59, and < 30 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsLower eGFR levels were significantly associated with older age, greater comorbidity burden, and increased medication use (all p < 0.001). Significant correlations were observed between eGFR and multiple CGA domains, including functional status, physical performance, frailty, sarcopenia, nutritional and cognitive status, falls, urinary incontinence, and polypharmacy (all p < 0.05). In adjusted analyses, low eGFR (< 60 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionReduced eGFR is independently associated with a higher burden of geriatric syndromes. Integrating CGA into routine care may enable early detection and multidisciplinary management to improve clinical outcomes in older adults with impaired kidney function.
