Discordant Results Between Creatinine- and Cystatin C-based Equations for Estimating GFR.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 8 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
Introduction: Discordant results between cystatin C and creatinine in estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are an important medical issue. However, the equation that should be used when GFR estimates are discordant remains unclear. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis included 15,485 participants with GFR measured by the clearance of an exogenous marker, serum creatinine, and cystatin C. We studied the proportion of discordant results defined as an absolute (> 15 ml/min per 1.73 m Results: In the total cohort, the proportion of subjects with discordant results (absolute or relative) was larger for CKD-EPI (35.1 and 40.6%) than for EKFC (21.9 and 31.7%) or r-LMR (22.8 and 32.8%) equations. Among discrepant results, the proportion of eGFR Conclusion: Based on the lower discrepancy proportion, better balance between eGFR
