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

backgroundExercise plays a key role in managing chronic conditions such as diabetes mellitus (DM), a major contributor to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a serious public health issue.

aimTo investigate the relationship between exercise intensity, DM duration, and ESRD incidence.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 2495031 individuals with DM who underwent the Korean National Health Screening between 2015 and 2016, with follow-up through 2022. The Cox proportional hazards model was adjusted for confounders, including age, sex, income, smoking, and baseline comorbidities.

resultsLonger DM duration was associated with a significantly higher risk of ESRD, with durations ≥ 10 years showing the highest risk [hazard ratio (HR): 2.624, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.486-2.770]. Increased exercise intensity reduced the risk of developing ESRD across all diabetes duration groups, with the highest exercise category (≥ 1500 metabolic equivalents of task-min/week) demonstrating a protective effect compared to that of no exercise (HR: 0.837, 95%CI: 0.791-0.886). Exercise benefits were more pronounced in patients without hypertension, non-smokers, and those with lower alcohol consumption. Additionally, ESRD risk reduction was significant among patients with a body mass index ≥ 25 and those without proteinuria or chronic kidney disease.

conclusionLonger diabetes duration is associated with increased ESRD risk, while high-intensity exercise may mitigate this risk. These findings suggest promoting exercise is important for managing diabetes to reduce renal complications.
