Variation in estimated glomerular filtration rate at dialysis initiation in children.
Observational study in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundData guiding the timing of dialysis initiation in children are limited. We sought to determine current practice and secular trends in Canada with respect to the timing of dialysis initiation in children based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
methodsThis observational study included incident chronic dialysis patients aged ≤21 years identified from the Canadian Organ Replacement Register who started dialysis in Canada between January 2001 and December 2010 at any of the nine participating Canadian centers (n = 583). Youth were categorized utilizing CKiD Schwartz eGFR into ≥10.5 (higher) or <10.5 ml/min/1.73 m
resultsMedian eGFR at dialysis initiation was 8.1 (interquartile range 5.4-11.0) ml/min/1.73 m
conclusionsOne-third of the children were found to have initiated dialysis with an eGFR ≥10.5 ml/min/1.73 m
