Early life factors in relation to albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C and creatinine in adults from a Swedish population-based cohort study.
Article in Journal of nephrology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundEarly life factors influence the number of nephrons a person starts life with and a consequence of that is believed to be premature kidney ageing. Thus, we aimed to identify early life factors associated with cystatin C and creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) rate equations and urine -albumin-to-creatinine ratio after a follow-up of 46-67 years.
methodsThe study included 593 Swedish subjects without diabetes mellitus from the Malmo Diet Cancer Cohort. Perinatal data records including birth weight, gestational age, placenta weight and maternal related risk factors were analysed. eGFR was determined by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology (CKD-EPI), the Lund-Malmö revised and Caucasian, Asian, Paediatric, and Adult (CAPA) equations. Postnatal growth phenotypes were defined as low (≤ 0) or high (> 0) birth weight z-score, or low (≤ median) or high (> median) body mass index at 20 years of age.
resultsIn women, lower birth weight was associated with lower eGFR (CAPA; CKD-EPI cystatin C). Birth weight z-score predicted adult albuminuria specifically in men (OR 0.75, 95% CI [0.58; 0.96]). Women with high birth weight z-score and low BMI at 20 years had lower eGFR (CAPA; CKD-EPI cystatin C; p = 0.04). Men with high birth weight z-score and high BMI at 20 years had lower risk for albuminuria (OR 0.35, 95% CI [0.12; 0.93]).
conclusionsLower birth weight, prematurity and postnatal growth curve have a potential sex- specific effect of early exposure to an adverse environment on lower cystatin C-based eGFR and albuminuria later in life. Cystatin C compared to creatinine -eGFR equations shows a higher ability to detect these findings.
