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

introductionChronic kidney disease (CKD) is often accompanied by complications including poor physical activity level. However, only a few studies have objectively characterized physical activity levels in predialysis CKD. Our study sought to measure daily activity levels by accelerometry in individuals with CKD (stages III-V) and to determine the association between daily activity and kidney function.

methodsWe determined kidney function by means of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the Modification of Diet and Renal Disease (MDRD) equation. Participants wore an accelerometer for 7 consecutive days, and we measured multiple physical activity outcomes including total daily activity, sedentary, light, and moderate-vigorous activity. Average durations and intensity of activity were determined according to stage of CKD. The association between kidney function and activity level was determined by regression analysis.

resultsWe analyzed data from 110 individuals (60% men and 40% women) with stages III to V CKD. The mean age of our participants was 64 years, mean body mass index was 27.5 kg/m DISCUSSION: Individuals with stages III to V CKD are sedentary, and do not meet the national recommendations of 150 minutes of moderate-vigorous activity per week. Further study is required to determine whether interventions to increase activity levels in patients with CKD are associated with improved health outcomes.
