Screening for kidney disease in Indigenous Canadian children: The FINISHED screen, triage and treat program.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03595267 (Optimal Approaches to Chronic Kidney Disease Case Finding in Indigenous Communities), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundIndigenous populations are disproportionately affected by kidney failure at younger ages than other ethnic groups in Canada. As symptoms do not occur until disease is advanced, early kidney disease risk is often unrecognized.
objectivesWe sought to evaluate the yield of community-based screening for early risk factors for kidney disease in youth from rural Indigenous communities in Canada.
methodsThe FINISHED project screened 11 rural First Nations communities in Manitoba, Canada after community and school engagement. The results for the 10- to 17-year olds are reported here. Body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), hemoglobin A1c's (HbA1c) and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratios (ACR) were assessed. All children were triaged and referred to either primary or tertiary care, depending on risk.
resultsA total of 353 were screened (estimated 22.4% of population). The median age was 12 years (IQR 10 to 13), 55% were female and 55% were overweight or obese. Overall, 21.8% of children had at least one abnormality. Hypertension was identified in 5.4% and 11.9% had prehypertension. None of the children had an eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m
conclusionsRisk factors for chronic kidney disease are highly prevalent in rural Indigenous children. More research is required to confirm the persistence of these findings, and to evaluate the efficacy of screening children to prevent or delay progression to kidney failure.
