Diagnostic accuracy of UACR in CKD screening among diabetics: A community study.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major microvascular complication of diabetes in rural India, where access to diagnostic facilities is limited. 24-hour urine protein estimation, through the reference method is impractical for community screening. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) for CKD screening among 201 known diabetic individuals from rural Nagpur. Elevated UACR was observed in 99% of participants, whereas 59% had abnormal 24-hour urine protein excretion. UACR demonstrated 100% sensitivity but low specificity (4%), with an overall diagnostic accuracy of 60% and a negative predictive value of 100%. UACR correlated significantly with glycaemic indices, eGFR and proteinuria and its screening utility improves when combined with serum creatinine and eGFR in resource-limited community settings.
