The association of low birthweight and chronic renal failure among Medicaid young adults with diabetes and/or hypertension.

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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to assess the effect of low birthweight on chronic renal failure among young Medicaid patients with diabetes and/or hypertension.
methodsThe study included Caucasian and African American young adults, aged 18-50, who enrolled in the Medicaid program from 1993 to 1996 in South Carolina and were diagnosed with diabetes and/or hypertension. The odds of chronic renal failure by low birthweight (< 2,500 grams) was estimated using logistic regression.
resultsOf the 7,505 Medicaid patients with diabetes and/or hypertension, 179 (2.4%) were diagnosed with chronic renal failure. These patients were younger (mean age of 33.9 vs. 37.6, p = 0.0024) and had a higher proportion of low birthweight (15.1% vs. 11.4%, p = 0.07) compared with the 7,326 patients without renal failure. The odds ratio of chronic renal failure for low birthweight was significantly higher compared with normal birthweight (2,500-3,999 grams) (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.56, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.0, 2.4). The association between low birthweight and chronic renal failure was stronger among the 888 patients with both diabetes and hypertension (OR 2.6, 95% Cl 1.3, 5.7) than the 1,812 diabetes or the 4,805 hypertension patients.
conclusionsThe odds of chronic renal failure by low birthweight was highest in patients with both diabetes and hypertension, suggesting that the mechanism(s) involved in the disease progression to chronic renal failure may have a fetal early life origin.
