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

backgroundThe intraindividual difference between the estimated glomerular filtration rates by cystatin C and creatinine (ie, eGFRdiff) is of clinical importance. This study aimed to investigate the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of eGFRdiff with stroke using nationally representative data from the CHARLS (China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study).

methodsThis study included 11 869 participants (aged ≥45 years) from the CHARLS 2015 for the cross-sectional analysis. A total of 11 553 participants free of stroke were recruited in 2015 as baseline and followed up to 2020 for the cohort analysis. The eGFRdiff was calculated by subtracting estimated glomerular filtration rate by serum creatinine from estimated glomerular filtration rate by serum cystatin C at baseline. Logistic regression models and Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations.

resultsThe mean age of the participants was 60.3±9.6 years, and 5514 (46.5%) were men. According to the cross-sectional analysis, a negative eGFRdiff was associated with a greater prevalence of stroke (odds ratio per 1 SD, 0.841 [95% CI, 0.741-0.955]). During a median follow-up of 5.0 years, 838 individuals (7.3%) experienced incident stroke. A lower baseline eGFRdiff was associated with a greater risk of stroke onset (hazard ratio [HR] per 1 SD, 0.884 [95% CI, 0.817-0.955]). Compared with those in the midrange eGFRdiff group (from -15 to 15 mL/min per 1.73 m

conclusionsA large negative eGFRdiff was independently associated with higher prevalence and incidence rates of stroke among middle-aged and older Chinese adults.
