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: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is the leading cause of end stage renal disease. Screening for chronic kidney disease is recommended for early diagnosis and intervention. This requires assessment of renal function by computing for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin-creatine ratio. Several formulas have been proposed for computation of eGFR. The European Renal Function Consortium (EKFC) equation, obtained by combining the full age spectrum (FAS) and Chronic Kidney Disease - Epidemiology Collaboration 2021 (CKD-EPI) equations, has been proposed as a more universal formula for eGFR. It has the advantage of eliminating correction for ethnicity and covers a wide age range. The aim of this study is to compare the EKFC and CKD-EPI 2021 equations to assess eGFR among Algerian population with T2D. Methodology: This is an observational, cross-sectional, analytical study. Serum creatinine levels were measured using the Cobas integra 400 Roche diagnostic device. The results were used to estimate GFR using the two formulas: CKD-EPI 2021 and EKFC. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the performance of the CKD-EPI 2021 and EKFC equations ( Conclusions: The main value of the EKFC lies in its ability to provide a detailed stratification in the early stages of chronic kidney disease. Our study also represents the first attempt to establish the q-value in the Algerian population.
