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

backgroundObesity is increasing worldwide and has become a nontraditional risk factor in chronic kidney disease (CKD). SUMMARY: Obesity-related nephropathy may aggravate renal complications of the metabolic syndrome and progress to advanced CKD stages, while obesity in early stages of CKD is clearly related to the development of kidney disease. A high body mass index (BMI) in advanced CKD stages and dialysis is an advantage for survival (so called "obesity paradox"). A high lean body to fat mass index indicates a beneficial state of body composition. In contrast, loss of muscle mass with increasing fat mass causes "sarcopenia obesity," which is related to unfavorable outcomes in renal replacement therapy. Obesity (BMI > 30-35) in renal transplant recipients is associated with a higher risk of complications such as delayed graft function, increased rates of rejection, and graft loss. While conservative management of morbid obesity is failing in most cases, bariatric surgery seems to be an option in some cases to improve renal complications in the early stage of CKD or in transplant candidates. KEY MESSAGE: In conclusion, obesity is increasingly prevalent among CKD patients. Adequate management with respect to the specific role of obesity in different stages of CKD should be integrated in routine renal care.
