Clinical Decision Making in a Patient with Stage 5 CKD--Is eGFR Good Enough?
Article in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
The development and widespread use of serum creatinine concentration-based prediction equations to calculate eGFR have been major advances for detection of patients with CKD and the epidemiologic study of CKD and its outcomes. However, these equations as well as those that also incorporate serum cystatin C concentration provide GFR estimates that, although reasonably precise on average, can differ markedly and in clinically important ways from actual GFR. Thus, it is important that clinicians who use these equations for clinical decision-making be familiar with their strengths and weaknesses and have an appreciation of their potential for error. More precise knowledge of actual GFR is important in certain clinical circumstances, including, as presented in this Attending Rounds, patients with stage 5 CKD, in whom decisions regarding dialysis initiation are necessary. Nephrologists should have the ability to accurately determine GFR when needed if clinical circumstances suggest inaccuracy of the calculated eGFR reported by the clinical laboratory.
