Association between serum resistin levels and eGFR (continuous trait).

SGR: San Giovanni Rotondo. The β linear coefficients represent the change in eGFR level for 1SD increase in resistin. SE: standard error. Model 1 = unadjusted (Boston sample was adjusted by coronary artery disease status-yes/no). Model 2 = adjusted by smoking habits, BMI, waist circumference, diabetes duration, HbA1c, insulin treatment, hypertension and lipid-lowering therapy (Boston sample was adjusted by coronary artery disease status-yes/no). *Since the effect in SGR was different than that in Boston sample (p for beta values heterogeneity being = 3.3*10−6), individual data meta-analysis was carried out by using random effects.
