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

purposeTo determine the impact that end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) has on ocular microcirculation in the optic nerve head (ONH) and choroid area shown by laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG).

methodsWe studied 24 consecutive Japanese patients with ESKD who visited the department of Nephrology at our hospital and 55 age- and gender-matched subjects who had undergone polysomnography. The mean blur rates (MBRs) in vessels (MBR-Vessel), in the tissue (MBR-Tissue), throughout the ONH (MBR-All), and throughout the choroid (MBR-Choroid) were analyzed. We divided the MBR-Tissue into four sections (superior, temporal, inferior, and nasal). The results of systemic and ocular parameters were compared between the ESKD patients and control subjects. We performed single and multiple regression analyses to determine the MBR section(s) that correlated most strongly with serum creatinine and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and to identify the independent factors for selected MBR sections in the ESKD patients.

resultsAll sections of the ONH in the ESKD patients were significantly lower than those in the control subjects. MBR-Choroid was not significantly different between the control and ESKD groups. The single regression analyses revealed that MBR-Tissue had the strongest correlations with creatinine and the eGFR. The multiple regression analyses revealed hematocrit, creatinine, and eGFR as factors independently contributing to the MBR-Tissue. The inferior section of MBR-Tissue was most strongly correlated with creatinine and the eGFR.

conclusionThe MBRs in the ONH of the ESKD patients decrease compared with control subjects and the inferior section of MBR-Tissue is correlated with serum creatinine and eGFR.
