The Relationship Between a Low-Carbohydrate Diet and the Prevalence of Diabetic Kidney Disease in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 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
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) affects over 40% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), yet effective preventive strategies remain limited. Although low-carbohydrate dietary (LCD) shows promise in glycemic control, their association with DKD prevalence is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between LCD adherence and DKD risk in a nationally representative T2DM population. 4558 adults with T2DM from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were included (NHANES, 2009-2018). LCD adherence was quantified using the validated Low-Carbohydrate Diet Score (LCDS, range 0-30), calculated from two 24-h dietary recalls. DKD was defined as albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥ 30 mg/g or estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m
