Coronary artery calcification score and common iliac artery calcification score in non-dialysis CKD patients.
Observational study in Nephrology (Carlton, Vic.), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
aimMany studies have validated Agatston's coronary artery calcification score (CACS) for assessing vascular calcification (VC) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This study aimed to evaluate the CACS and common iliac artery calcification score (IACS) and to examine the variables related to each score.
methodsThe subjects were 145 non-dialysis CKD patients. The CACS and IACS were determined using the same thoracicoabdominal multi-detector computed tomography. Multiple regression analyses were performed to assess the factors associated with the CACS or IACS. The associations between progression to renal replacement therapy (RRT) and the CACS or IACS were studied using Cox hazards models.
resultsThe subjects' median age, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and follow-up period were 72 (62-78) years, 32 (18-50) mL/min/1.73m
conclusionChronic kidney disease related risk factors for VC, such as the eGFR and hyperphosphataemia, are significantly associated with a high CACS, but not a high IACS, and the CACS is a significant predictor of progression to RRT.
