Hemoglobin discriminates stages of chronic kidney disease in elderly patients.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases with age, and anemia is known to affect the outcome of subjects with CKD. However, little is known with regard to the associations between metabolic complications and stages of CKD among elderly patients. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of CKD in elderly Chinese patients, as well as the associations between stages of CKD and clinically important complications of anemia. In total, 2,258 individuals with CKD, divided into younger (n=989) and elderly (n=1,269) groups, were enrolled in the study between June 2009 and December 2011. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was assessed using a 99mTc-DTPA renal dynamic imaging method (modified Gate's method). The levels of serum creatinine (SCr) and hemoglobin (Hb), and the hematocrit (HCT) were measured simultaneously per manufacturer's instructions. In the elderly group, the levels of SCr and proportional ratios were higher, while the GFR, Hb level, HCT and proportional ratios were lower when compared with the values in the younger group. Statistically significant differences were observed in the Hb concentrations when comparing individuals classified with different stages of CKD in the younger and elderly groups. In the younger group, there was no significant difference in the Hb concentrations between the stage 3a and 3b CKD patients. However, in the elderly group, the Hb concentrations were significantly higher in patients classified with stage 3a CKD when compared with those with stage 3b, whose GFR cutoff point was <60 ml/min/1.73 m
