1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: The effects of statins on renal outcomes have already been studied in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, data on the general population are limited. We evaluated the association between statin use and risk of CKD in community-dwelling older people in Shanghai, China. Patients and Methods: This registry-based cohort study was conducted in four communities in four districts in Shanghai. Participants with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m Results: Of the study cohort of 2455 participants (41.1% men; average age, 68.06 years), 624 (25.4%) were treated with stains. Two propensity score-matched cohorts of 604 participants each were analyzed (statin users and nonusers). Statin use was significantly associated with a decreased risk of new-onset CKD with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of 0.73 (0.59 to 0.91) ( Conclusion: Statin use was significantly associated with a decreased risk of new-onset CKD and a slower decline in eGFR in community-dwelling older people. Meanwhile, dyslipidemia was a risk factor for CKD progression among both statin users and nonusers.
