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

backgroundDetermining the cost of a disease is one of the approaches to estimate the burden of the disease. This study was aimed to estimate the socioeconomic burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) by CKD stages and treatment strategies in Korea.

methodsThis was a population-based study designed to estimate the cost of CKD according to CKD stages and treatment strategies from a societal perspective in Korea using multiple data sources. Costs of CKD stages III, IV, and V, hemodialysis (HD), and peritoneal dialysis (PD) were estimated with a prevalence-based method. Costs of kidney transplantation (KT) and post kidney transplantation were estimated using an incidence-based method. Costs consisted of direct medical cost, productivity loss cost due to hospitalization and outpatient visit, caregiver cost, and transportation cost.

resultsDirect medical cost per year per patient with CKD stages III, IV, and V were 1205, 1963, and 8035 Euros, respectively. Direct medical cost per year per patient receiving HD and PD was 34,554 and 25,806 Euros, respectively. Medical cost per year per KT patient was 68,798 Euros. Direct medical cost which accounted for 70% of the total cost of CKD IV and 87% of the total cost of post KT. Cost associated with productivity loss was approximately 8-20%.

conclusionsOur findings could be useful for evaluating cost-effectiveness of various CKD interventions including the screening strategy. This study also emphasizes a remarkable increase in the socioeconomic burden associated with the progression of CKD in patients.
