Association of ALDH2 rs671 Polymorphism with chronic kidney disease incidence in a population-based Korean cohort.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
The Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) rs671 polymorphism, a common variant that impairs aldehyde detoxification, has been linked to cardiovascular disease, but its role in chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear. This study examined the association between the ALDH2 rs671 polymorphism and incident CKD in a population-based cohort, and whether alcohol consumption modifies this relationship. We analyzed 5,369 Korean adults aged 40-69 years without CKD at baseline from the community-based Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, followed biennially for up to 18 years. The main exposures were ALDH2 genotype (GG vs. GA/AA) and categorized alcohol consumption (none, low, moderate, high). Incident CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m² or new-onset proteinuria (≥ 1 + on dipstick). Cox proportional hazards models estimated adjusted hazard ratios (HRs). During a mean 11.7-year follow-up, 1,396 participants (26.0%) developed CKD. CKD risk did not differ significantly between genotypes, and alcohol intake was not associated with CKD incidence. These associations were consistent across genotype or sex. Overall, ALDH2 rs671 and alcohol intake showed limited relevance to CKD onset, suggesting that ALDH2-related biological effects may be more pertinent to disease progression rather than initiation in the general population.
