Can increased vigilance for chronic kidney disease in hospitalised patients decrease late referral and improve dialysis-free survival?
Article in BMC nephrology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundInsufficient vigilance for renal insufficiency is associated with late referral, increased morbidity and mortality. The present study examines whether increased vigilance for chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to quicker referral to and better follow-up by a nephrologist, and whether it is associated with an improved outcome.
methodsPatients with an eGFR < 45 ml/min/1.73 m
resultsOf the 72 included patients, 54 had proven CKD, with eGFR consistently < 45 ml/min/1.73 m
conclusionVigilance for CKD is poor. Simple interventions to augment the vigilance for CKD, as presented in this study, lead to a quicker referral to and follow-up by a nephrologist, which may result in better outcome.
