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

Despite rates of CKD continuing to increase, the current evidence base used to guide CKD management is smaller than that for many other chronic diseases. Clinical investigators face multiple barriers to conducting research in patients with CKD. CKD patients have multiple comorbidities that make them a risky intervention target; thus, they are often excluded from trials. The lack of approved surrogate endpoints for kidney disease progression makes testing therapies to slow progression very challenging and expensive. Patients with CKD have higher rates of disability and lower educational status than the general population, which further complicates their participation in clinical trials. Despite these barriers, it is imperative that scientific progress be made in this patient population. Increasing education and information regarding CKD clinical trials through brochures and public awareness campaigns may increase trial participation. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration needs to approve the new definition of glomerular filtration rate decline because this will result in a decrease in the cost of clinical trials and make industry more likely to invest in trials in patients with CKD. Successful research in this patient population is possible, but it requires collaboration among investigators, health-care providers, patients, industry, and the National Institutes of Health.
