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

objectiveA prior study showed that premature mortality among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) due to lupus nephritis (LN) persisted in the US between 1995 and 2006. The present study was undertaken to extend this analysis through 2014 to examine more recent trends, including key cause-specific mortality trends.

methodsUsing the national registry of patients with ESRD, we identified all patients with incident ESRD due to LN between January 1, 1995 and December 31, 2014, divided into four 5-year cohorts of ESRD onset by calendar year (1995-1999, 2000-2004, 2005-2009, 2010-2014). We assessed mortality within each cohort. Temporal trends in all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality were examined, adjusting for covariates.

resultsWe identified 20,974 individuals with incident ESRD due to LN from 1995 through 2014. The mortality rate per 100 patient-years declined from 11.1 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 10.4-11.8) in 1995-1999 to 6.7 (95% CI 6.2-7.2) in 2010-2014 (P for trend < 0.01). Adjusted mortality hazard ratios in 2010-2014, compared with 1995-1999, were 0.68 (95% CI 0.58-0.78) for white patients, 0.67 (95% CI 0.57-0.78) for African American patients, and 0.51 (95% CI 0.38-0.69) for Hispanic patients. Deaths from cardiovascular disease (CVD) and infection declined by 44% and 63%, respectively, from 1995-1999 to 2010-2014 (P for trend < 0.01 for both).

conclusionIn the more recent years of the period 1995-2014, there was a considerable reduction in all-cause mortality among white, African American, and Hispanic patients, with reduced risk of death from CVD and infection. Collectively, these trends provide an important benchmark of improving care in this high-risk population.
