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.

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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/

aimsAnemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recently, the erythropoiesis-stimulating agent/hemoglobin level (ESA/Hb) index emerged as a new factor associated with increased morbidity and mortality in this population. In this study, we evaluated the factors that influence the ESA/Hb index in a pre-dialysis CKD population.

methodsNinety-five patients were evaluated for clinical and laboratory parameters, nutritional status and ESA/Hb index. For comparison, we divided our population into 3 groups: G I--no ESA treatment, G II--patients with ESA/index below 50th percentile and G III--patients with ESA/Hb index above 50th percentile. We performed single and multiple regression models and logistic regression analysis.

resultsIn a multiple regression model, age (t = -3.456, P = 0.001), SGA (t = 2.059, P = 0.047), ferritin (t = 2.386, P = 0.027), Ca × P (t = 2.066, P = 0.043), TNF-α (t = 2.673, P = 0.009) and IL-6 (t = 2.939, P = 0.004) independently influenced the ESA/Hb index. At logistic regression analysis, gender, cardiovascular disease and TNF-α were independently associated with ESA/Hb higher than 50th percentile compared to the other patients (R(2) = 0.457).

conclusionIn a pre-dialysis population, female gender, cardiovascular disease, malnutrition and inflammation are associated with a higher ESA/Hb index.
