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

backgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) amounts to a heavy burden for health services. There is no long-running epidemiological tool for CKD before dialysis. We here present the protocol for a cohort of patients with "non-dialysis" CKD receiving care in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The aim of this cohort was to periodically describe the characteristics of patients included and their care provision, to analyse evolution in care and patients' kidney function outcomes.

methodsThe ND-CRIS cohort is prevalent and incident. Patients are included in the cohort if over 18, with a glomerula filtration rate (GFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m2, non-dialysed, informed on the research and not having opposed it, and followed by a nephrologist in one of the 9 centres in the region, (3 pilot centres joined by 6 others in 2015). All the patients are followed up, with varying time lapses according to the degree of GFR deterioration. Data is collected by clinical research assistants (CRAs) using a dedicated computerised case-report form (CRF). Professional practices are assessed using indicators defined by the French Health Authority. The follow-up of patients included should enable assessment of the evolution of their GFR and co-morbidities. The periodic descriptions should give insight into evolution in epidemiological terms. DISCUSSION: The ND-CRIS meets a need in epidemiological tools in France for CKD. The cohort does claim to be representative, of ND-CKD patients receiving care from nephrologists. The open and incident nature of the cohort and the number of patients included in the ND-CRIS should provide answers to questions that cannot be answered by smaller solely prevalent cohorts. The numbers of patients included over the study period (2391 patients in 3 centres in 3 years) suggests that the figure of 5000 patients should be reached by 2017. The participation of nephrologists and the rate of inclusions point to the feasibility of the implementation of this cohort. Beyond the information to be found in the CRFs, this cohort should also enable ad hoc studies, in particular in the area of pharmaco-epidemiology, and it could later serve as a research platform and as a public health surveillance tool.
