Prevalence of baseline chronic kidney disease in 2,769 Chinese patients with renal cancer: nephron-sparing treatment is still underutilized.
Article in World journal of urology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo evaluate the prevalence of baseline chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a large cohort of patients with renal masses in a single Chinese institution. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and CKD stage are more clinically relevant to predict the risk of morbidity and mortality in patients after nephrectomy. But, sCr reflects renal function poorly.
methodsWe retrospectively identified patients undergoing kidney surgery between January 2002 and June 2012. eGFR was calculated using the modification of diet in renal disease formulas modified based on Chinese people. CKD stages I–V were defined using the National Kidney Foundation definitions.
resultsA total of 2769 patients had adequate data available to calculate a preoperative eGFR (mL/min/1.73m2) with renal cancer confirmed by pathology. Of all patients, 97.7 % awaiting surgery at our institution had a “normal” baseline sCr (≤1.4 mg/dL), and 3.2 % of patients had CKD stage III or worse. Of the 401 patients ≥70 years old, 16.7 % (67/401) had CKD stage III.
conclusionMany patients with a seemingly normal sCr have CKD stage III or worse, especially in patients over 70 years old. Given the high prevalence of baseline CKD in patients with renal cancer, it is important to preserve renal parenchyma when treating them surgically.
