Association between renal function and simple renal cyst growth: a retrospective study.
Article in European journal of medical research, 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
objectiveSimple renal cysts (SRC) are associated with a high incidence of proteinuria and renal insufficiency. However, the effects of renal function, particularly estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), on SRC size remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of renal function on SRC size.
methodsThis retrospective study included 502 patients diagnosed with SRC from Sir Run Run Hospital, Nanjing Medical University, between August 2019 and February 2022. Among them, 185 patients were followed up. SRC size and growth were monitored by B-ultrasound. The relationship between eGFR levels and SRC size/growth was analyzed by linear regression and logistic regression analysis.
resultsWe found that patients with lower eGFR had significantly larger SRC sizes and higher growth rates. Low eGFR level was associated with increased the risk of larger maximum SRC volume. Furthermore, eGFR level was also negatively correlated with the growth rate of SRC. Multivariate analysis revealed that low eGFR levels were related to larger size and faster growth of SRC.
conclusionRenal function, as measured by eGFR, was inversely associated with both the size and growth rate of SRC. Monitoring renal function in patients with low eGFR could help in early detection and management of SRC growth.
