Development and evaluation of a kidney health questionnaire and estimates of chronic kidney disease prevalence in the Cooperative Health Research in South Tyrol (CHRIS) study.
Article in Journal of nephrology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundKidney diseases are a public health burden but are poorly investigated in the general population. In light of inadequate survey tools, we developed a novel questionnaire for use in population-based studies, to retrospectively assess kidney diseases.
methodsThe questionnaire covered general kidney diseases, reduced kidney function, and renal surgeries. It was administered between 2011 and 2018 to 11,684 participants (median age = 45 years) of the Cooperative Health Research in South Tyrol (CHRIS) study. Fasting estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) were measured. By factor analysis we contextualized the questionnaire content with respect to the biochemical measurements. We estimated overall and sex-stratified prevalence of kidney diseases, including possible CKD, calibrating them to the general target population via relative sampling weights.
resultsPopulation-representative prevalence of glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, and congenital kidney diseases was 1.0%, 3.0%, and 0.2%, respectively, with corresponding odds ratios for females versus males of 1.4 (95% confidence interval: 1.0, 2.0), 8.7 (6.2, 12.3), and 0.7 (0.3, 1.6), respectively. Prevalence of kidney dysfunction (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m
conclusionIn the Val Venosta/Vinschgau alpine district, CKD prevalence aligned with Western European estimates. Kidney health questionnaire implementation in population studies is feasible and valuable to assess CKD awareness, which we found to be dramatically low.
