This illustrates the partially-fitted estimated GFR (eGFR) when using splines for TGF-β levels in Generalized Additive Models (GAM) adjusting for age, sex, black race, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, body mass index, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, history of cardiovascular disease, and C-reactive protein. The dotted lines are the 95% confidence bands. The x axis is on log2 scale and the three vertical lines show Q1, median, and Q3 of TGF-β
