1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPatients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) of all stages experience extremely high mortality, with cardiovascular causes accounting for about half of all their deaths. Traditional risk factors such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes mellitus cannot explain the excessively high cardiovascular mortality in CKD. Chronic inflammation is one of the novel risk factors that appear to contribute to the increased mortality seen in patients with CKD. Therapeutic interventions targeting chronic inflammation in CKD may lead to improved outcomes.

objectivesTo describe the role of inflammation in CKD and to review anti-inflammatory pharmacologic therapies that could have a role in its therapy.

methodsA review of the literature was carried out and expert opinion expressed. RESULTS/

conclusionInflammation is a common and significant problem in CKD. There are currently no approved pharmacologic anti-inflammatory therapies in CKD but several agents are being studied in early clinical trials, while others could become viable alternatives in the future.
