Predictors of elevated carotid intima-media thickness as a surrogate marker for cardiovascular disease in pediatric chronic kidney disease.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD), especially in its late stages, carries significant morbidity and mortality, often due to cardiovascular problems. Mortality rates for children with CKD and cardiovascular disorders remain high even in high-income countries. Elevated carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is considered a marker for vascular thickness and future cardiovascular events in younger populations. This study aimed to determine predictors of cardiovascular events in pediatric patients with CKD with CIMT as a surrogate marker. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted on children aged 2-18 years with CKD at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from September 1st 2022-31st December 2023. We used multivariate logistic regression to identify independent predictors at diagnosis (e.g., age, male sex, obesity, CKD stage, and hypertension) associated with elevated CIMT (outcome), measured at least three months post-diagnosis as a proxy for cardiovascular risk.
resultsA total of 71 patients were recruited, 35 (49.3%) of whom were male, and the median age (range) was 14.67 years (4.6-18.8). Twenty-four children (33.8%) had increased vascular thickness. In the multivariate analysis, male sex was independently associated with increased vascular thickness with an adjusted odds ratio (95% CI) of 2.911 (1.012-8.371, p = 0.047).
conclusionApproximately one in three children with CKD experienced increased vascular thickness. Male was an independent predictor for increased vascular thickness in children with CKD.
