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

backgroundThe incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing, with major health and economic implications. World Kidney Day was established to increase the general public's awareness of CKD. The purpose of this report was to document the self-awareness of CKD by nephrologists practicing in one country, Nigeria.

methodsSelf-administered questionnaires addressing self-awareness about CKD were distributed to nephrologists attending a meeting of the Nigerian Association of Nephrology.

resultsTwenty-eight (35.4%) of the respondents admitted to being at risk for CKD; 93.7% reported having urinalysis done in the past, but only 50.6% had done it within the last 12 months. Similarly, 74.7% had at least had a serum creatinine measurement. Only 12.7% had ever had their glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimated.

conclusionSelf-screening for CKD among Nigerian nephrologists is suboptimal. This self-neglect may translate into poor CKD screening practices for their patients.
