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

backgroundAlthough renal inulin clearance (Cin) is the gold standard for evaluation of kidney function, it cannot be measured easily. Therefore, creatinine clearance (Ccr) is often used clinically to evaluate kidney function. Enzymatically measured Ccr was recently found to be much higher than Cin because of the tubular secretion of creatinine (Cr). This study compared three measures of renal clearance, inulin, 2-h Ccr, and 24-h Ccr, in children.

methodsKidney function was evaluated in 76 children (51 males and 25 females) aged 1 month to 18 years with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by three renal clearance methods at almost the same time.

resultsCorrelations between each pair of three renal clearance measurements were determined. Approximate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was equal to 62 % of 2-h Ccr or 76 % of 24-h Ccr.

conclusionCr secretion by renal tubules was approximately 50 % of the GFR. In this study, we indicate that the measurements of 2-h Ccr or 24-h Ccr do not show true GFR but we could infer approximate GFR from the values. The use of 2- or 24-h Ccr might contribute to the treatment of pediatric CKD patients.
