Second Morning ACR Could Be the Alternative to First Morning ACR to Assess Albuminuria in Elderly Population.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundAlbumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) from a first morning urine is recommended as a early indicator for diabetic nephropathy. However, it is not always feasible to collect the first morning urine for outpatients. We aimed to explore whether ACR from a second morning urine had a good consistency with that from a first morning urine to predict albuminuria in Chinese elderly citizens.
methodOne hundred and ninety-one elderly citizens (≧60 years old) from Junliangcheng community, Dongli district, Tianjin, China were included. A first and second morning urine was collected from each participants, successfully and detected the urinary albumin and creatinine of each urine sample. Albumin to creatinine ratio from a first morning urine (ACR1) was compared with that from a second morning urine (ACR2), and the ability of ACR1 and ACR2 to predict albuminuria was assessed.
resultACR1 and ACR2 were highly correlated (r = 0.901), especially in male and hypertension group (r = 0.938 and 0.904). The slope and intercept were 0.93 and 0.11 after log-transformed. And there was no statistical difference between values of ACR1 and ACR2 (P = 0.271). Overall, 26.2% participants were detected with albuminuria when judged by ACR1 and 28.3% by ACR2. A good concordance of ACR category (normal or albuminuria) was found between ACR1 and ACR2 (Kappa value = 0.815 in overall; in male and hypertension group were 0.900 and 0.850).
conclusionA second morning urine ACR could be the alternative to a first morning urine ACR for albuminuria detection in elderly population.
