Prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease without dialysis: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International urology and nephrology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeRecent epidemiological evidence attempts to demonstrate the risk of pulmonary hypertension (PH) among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) without dialysis, but prevalence estimates of PH in CKD without dialysis vary widely in the existing studies. This meta-analysis was to summarize the point prevalence of PH in adults with CKD without dialysis.
methodsPubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Collaboration, and the reference lists of relevant articles were searched to identify eligible studies. We used a random-effect meta-analysis model to estimate the prevalence of PH. Associations were tested in subgroups and meta-regression analyses. We also performed sensitivity analyses and assessments of publishing bias.
resultsTwenty-one observational studies (n = 8012 participants) were included in this meta-analysis. The result of analysis in random-effect model showed that the pooled prevalence was 32% (95% CI 23-42%), with significant heterogeneity between these studies (I
conclusionsPH is highly prevalent in patients with CKD without dialysis. Owing to the high heterogeneity, future well-designed and large prospective studies are encouraged to confirm the findings and definitively clarify the potential biological mechanisms.
