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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a silent disease which worsens gradually to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). US kidney disease outcomes quality initiative (KDOQI) guidelines indicate five stages of CKD based on the severity of kidney function which is assessed by estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula. The management of CKD patients with mild renal damage (stage 1-2 KDOQI) is articulated on the reduction of proteinuria (<500 mg/day), reduction of sitting systolic and diastolic blood pressure (<130/80 mmHg), salt restriction diet, diuretics (furosemide, spironolactone), antihypertensive agents (ACE inhibitors or ARBs (angiotensin II receptor blockers) or both as first-line therapy), additional other antihypertensives (aliskiren, non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, beta blockers), body weight reduction, cigarette smoking stopping, allopurinol therapy and non-use of some drugs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, acetaminophen, bisphosphonates, oral estrogens) and herbals. The management of CKD patients with moderate-severe renal damage (stage 3-5 KDOQI) is based on the above recommendations plus low protein diet, correction of hyperkalaemia, metabolic acidosis, and administration of vitamin D derivates and erythropoietin for the correction of mineral metabolism disorders and anemia, respectively. In conclusion, patients with CKD (stage 1-2 KDOQI) may be correctly managed by primary care physicians, individuals in stage 3-5 KDOQI need the supervision of nephrologists to assess those patients who progress to ESKD and require renal replacement therapy.
