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

objectiveTo evaluate the prognostic value of glomerular hyperfiltration on long-term kidney-related outcomes and mortality in patients with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 21-year longitudinal data from 314 patients with long-standing type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Glomerular hyperfiltration was identified based on the age- and sex-specific distribution of measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) by 99mTc-DTPA dynamic renal scintigraphy. The primary outcome was a composite of doubling of serum creatinine, end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), or cardiorenal death. The kidney-specific outcome was a composite of doubling of serum creatinine, ESKD, or renal death.

resultsOver a median of 21.0 years, the primary composite outcome occurred in 25 (39.7%), 24 (38.1%), and 46 (24.5%) participants with high mGFR (H-mGFR) (n = 63), low mGFR (L-mGFR) (n = 63), or normal mGFR (N-mGFR) (n = 188), respectively. Compared with N-mGFR, the hazard ratio (HR) for the primary composite outcome was 2.09 (95% CI 1.25-3.49) in H-mGFR and 1.81 (1.05-3.16) in L-mGFR. The HR for the kidney-specific composite outcome was 4.95 (2.21-11.09) in H-mGFR and 3.81 (1.70-8.56) in L-mGFR. The HRs for doubling of serum creatinine and cardiorenal death were 4.86 (2.18-10.90) and 2.18 (1.24-3.83) in H-mGFR and 4.04 (1.77-9.20) and 2.26 (1.27-4.01) in L-mGFR, respectively.

conclusionsGlomerular hyperfiltration, similar to hypofiltration, increases the combined risk of worsening kidney function and mortality from cardiovascular or renal causes in patients with diabetes. These findings encourage the active screening of these patients to optimize risk stratification and treatment of subclinical kidney disease.
