Urinary Dickkopf-3 (DKK3) Is Associated with Greater eGFR Loss in Patients with Resistant Hypertension.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Patients with resistant hypertension (HTN) demonstrate an increased risk of chronic kidney disease and progression to end-stage renal disease; however, the individual course of progression is hard to predict. Assessing the stress-induced, urinary glycoprotein Dickkopf-3 (uDKK3) may indicate ongoing renal damage and consecutive estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline. The present study aimed to determine the association between uDKK3 levels and further eGFR changes in patients with resistant HTN. In total, 31 patients with resistant HTN were included. Blood pressure and renal function were measured at baseline and up to 24 months after (at months 12 and 24). uDKK3 levels were determined exclusively from the first available spot urine sample at baseline or up to a period of 6 months after, using a commercial ELISA kit. Distinctions between different patient groups were analyzed using the unpaired t-test or Mann-Whitney test. Correlation analysis was performed using Spearman's correlation. The median uDKK3 level was 303 (interquartile range (IQR) 150-865) pg/mg creatinine. Patients were divided into those with high and low eGFR loss (≥3 vs. <3 mL/min/1.73 m²/year). Patients with high eGFR loss showed a significantly higher median baseline uDKK3 level (646 (IQR 249-2555) (n = 13) vs. 180 (IQR 123-365) pg/mg creatinine (n = 18),
