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

contextThe association between serum soluble Klotho (sKlotho) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) remains controversial, and the influence of hypertension on this association is inconclusive.

objectiveThis study aims to investigate the joint association of sKlotho and hypertension with CKD prevalence in adults with DM.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 3,302 adults with DM from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2016). Multivariate logistic regression analysis stratified by hypertension was used to assess the association between sKlotho and CKD prevalence. Moreover, the interaction between hypertension and sKlotho on CKD was evaluated.

resultsAmong individuals with DM, a significant association between sKlotho levels and CKD prevalence was observed only in those with hypertension. CKD prevalence was significantly lower in individuals with high sKlotho (≥ 806 pg/mL) than in those with low sKlotho (< 806 pg/mL) [adjusted OR = 0.54 (95% CI: 0.41-0.72);

conclusionsAmong DM adults, hypertension modified the association between sKlotho levels and CKD prevalence. Both additive and multiplicative interactions were observed between hypertension and sKlotho levels on CKD. The causalities between hypertension, Klotho, and CKD in diabetic patients need further exploration, and underlying mechanisms warrants elucidation.
