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

backgroundManagement trends in early chronic kidney disease (CKD) and their associations with clinical outcomes have not previously been reported.

methodsWe evaluated incident (Stage G3A) CKD patients from an integrated health care system in 2004-06, 2007-09 and 2010-12 to determine adjusted trends in screening (urinary protein quantification), treatment [prescription for angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and statin] and nephrology referral. For the same time periods, adjusted rates for mortality, progression to Stage G4 CKD and hospitalization for myocardial infarction or heart failure were calculated and compared across time periods.

resultsThere were 728, 788 and 956 patients with incident CKD in 2004-06, 2007-09 and 2010-12, respectively. Adjusted rates of proteinuria quantification (31, 39 and 51 screens/100 person-years), statin prescription (53, 63 and 64 prescriptions/100 person-years) and nephrology referral (2, 3 and 5 referrals/100 person-years) all increased over time (P for trend <0.001 in all cases). ACEI/ARB prescription rates did not change (88, 83 and 80 prescriptions/100 person-years, P = 0.68). Adjusted death rates (7, 5 and 6 deaths/100 person-years), CKD progression (9, 10 and 7 progressors/100 person-years) and cardiovascular hospitalization (10, 8 and 9 hospitalizations per 100/person-years) did not change (P for trend >0.4 in all cases).

conclusionIn this integrated health care system, management of incident CKD over the past decade has intensified.
