Simple assessment of patient's stage of chronic kidney disease using eGFR-MDRD nomograms.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
European as well as US guidelines recommend the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula to determine the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and, based on this, the staging of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The diagnosis of CKD is only established when a reduced eGFR has been observed for 3 months or longer. Because the MDRD equation is very complex, the calculation of eGFR is not possible without help from calculators or computers. Therefore, we converted this equation into simple, easy to use colour nomograms. These were drawn separately for men and women, on one hand, and for whites and blacks, on the other. These nomograms allow the determination of a patient's eGFR in a quick and easy way and at any location.
