The Risk of Adverse Events in Patients With Polycystic Kidney Disease With Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease.
Article in Canadian journal of kidney health and disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundPolycystic kidney disease (PKD) leads to progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) with a subsequent risk of adverse events such as cardiac disease, infections, end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), and mortality.
objectivesTo determine the risks of CKD-related adverse outcomes in patients with PKD compared with patients without PKD.
settingCanadian study of prediction of death, dialysis and interim cardiovascular events (CanPREDDICT) was a prospective pan-Canadian cohort study from 2008-2013 involving 28 facilities with adjudicated outcomes. PATIENTS: Adult CKD patients (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] = 15-45 mL/min/1.73 m MEASUREMENTS: Polycystic kidney disease as identified by the treating physician.
methodsPatients with PKD (PKD) and non-PKD were propensity score (PS) matched (1:4) using demographics, comorbidities, and laboratory values. We used conditional Cox proportional hazards models to examine the risk of cardiac disease (defined as coronary artery disease or congestive heart failure), infection, ESKD, or all-cause mortality in patients with PKD compared with no PKD.
resultsAmong a total of 2370 patients, 105 with PKD were matched with 416 without PKD with a baseline mean age and eGFR of 62.6 years and 27.8 mL/min, respectively. During 1680 person-years of follow time (median follow-up: 3.8 years), there were a total of 43 cardiac, 83 ESKD, 117 infectious, and 39 all-cause mortality events. PKD was associated with a higher risk of cardiac events (9.5% vs 7.9%, hazard ratio [HR] = 1.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.04-2.04) and ESKD (25.7% vs 13.5%, HR = 2.00, 95% CI = 1.33-3.01), and with similar risks for infection (21.9% vs 22.6%, HR = 1.16, 95% CI = 0.75-1.82) or all-cause mortality (6.7% vs 7.7%, HR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.40-1.91) compared with non-PKD. There were no differences in the types of infections (urinary, respiratory, hematologic, or other) between the 2 groups (
conclusionsPatients with PKD with advanced CKD are at a potentially higher risk of ESKD and cardiac events compared with patients without PKD. These findings, if confirmed in larger cohorts, suggest that monitoring and treatment for adverse outcomes in patients with PKD, especially related to cardiac disease, may be beneficial.
