Reappraisal of the impact of race on survival in patients on dialysis.
Review in American journal of kidney diseases : the official journal of the National Kidney Foundation, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Racial differences in the cause, natural history, and effects of chronic kidney disease have long been the subject of investigation. Dialysis-dependent kidney failure occurs nearly 4 times more often in African Americans than European Americans. Despite this observation, studies repeatedly show that African Americans have a significant survival advantage after initiating dialysis therapy. Although this phenomenon has been attributed to environmental and socioeconomic factors, recent studies show that inherited factors strongly influence racial differences in the development of diverse kidney diseases and may affect the risk of nephropathy-associated cardiovascular disease. We review relevant studies and propose the hypothesis that inherited factors leading to organ-limited kidney diseases and a lower burden of systemic atherosclerosis contribute in part to the improved survival rates in African American patients on dialysis therapy.
