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

backgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with morbidity and mortality in dogs. Plasma fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) concentration is an independent predictor of CKD progression and survival in cats and people with CKD.

objectivesTo investigate the relationship among FGF-23, parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D metabolites, and other clinical variables with survival time in dogs with CKD. ANIMALS: Twenty-seven azotemic CKD dogs.

methodsDogs were recruited prospectively into the study and followed until death or study conclusion. Dogs were International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) staged into stage 2 (n = 9), stage 3 (n = 12), and stage 4 (n = 6) CKD. Survival times were calculated from the date of study inclusion. Univariable Cox regression was used to assess variables associated with survival including body condition score (BCS), muscle condition score, hematocrit, creatinine, CKD stage, serum phosphorus, urine protein:creatinine ratio (UPC), calcium phosphorus product (CaPP), PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25--dihydroxyvitamin D, and FGF-23 concentrations.

resultsSignificant hazard ratios (hazard ratio; 95% confidence interval; P value) were as follows: BCS < 4/9 (1.579; 1.003-2.282; P = .05), muscle atrophy (2.334; 1.352-4.030; P = .01), increased creatinine (1.383; 1.16-1.64; .01), hyperphosphatemia (3.20; 1.357-7.548; P = .005), increased UPC (3.191; 1.310-7.773; P = .01), increased CaPP (4.092; 1.771-9.454; P = .003), and increased FGF-23 (2.609; 1.090-6.240; P = .05). Survival times for each IRIS CKD stage were significantly different (P = .01). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Multiple variables, including FGF-23, were associated with duration of survival in CKD dogs. FGF-23 could be a prognostic marker in dogs with CKD.
