Global trends in chronic kidney disease mortality and disability-adjusted life years attributable to low physical activity (1990-2021): a growing public health challenge.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundLow physical activity (LPA) is a major contributor to the global burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our goal was to assess the spatiotemporal trends in the CKD burden attributable to LPA from 1990 to 2021, with a focus on the globe, China, five SDI regions, and four continents.
methodsWe analysed CKD-related deaths, DALYs, the ASMR, the ASDR, and the EAPC attributable to low physical activity (LPA). This study focused on trends from 1990 to 2021 across the globe, China, five SDI regions, and four continents. Decomposition analysis, frontier analysis, and forecasting models were employed to explore changes in these indicators and their influencing factors.
resultsIn 2021, CKD attributable to low physical activity (LPA) resulted in 913,070 [95% UI: 348,170-1,619,770] DALYs and 40,920 [95% UI: 16,170-72,560] deaths globally, both of which were higher than those reported in 1990. The AOSD increased from 9.63 (95% UI: 3.73-17.02) to 10.81 (95% UI: 4.14-19.18) per 100,000, with an EAPC of 0.42 (95% CI: 0.35-0.48). The ASMR increased from 0.42 (95% UI: 0.17-0.74) to 0.50 (95% UI: 0.20-0.90) per 100,000, with an EAPC of 0.65 (95% CI: 0.57-0.73). The burden was greater among females, with more rapid increases in the ASDR and ASMR. The Americas and high-SDI regions presented the greatest growth in DALY and mortality rates.
conclusionsThe burden of CKD attributable to low physical activity (LPA) has increased significantly, particularly in low-SDI regions, women, and elderly individuals. The findings highlight the importance of promoting physical activity and implementing early interventions to inform public health policies. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
