Fertility and reproductive care in chronic kidney disease.
Review in Journal of nephrology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In both women and men, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with decreased fertility. Though a multitude of factors contribute to the reduction in fertility in this population, progressively impaired function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis appears to play a key role in the pathophysiology. There is limited research on strategies to manage infertility in the CKD population, but intensive hemodialysis, kidney transplantation, medication management and assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have all been proposed. Though fertility and reproductive care are reported as important elements of care by CKD patients themselves, few nephrology clinicians routinely address fertility and reproductive care in clinical interactions. Globally, the average age of parenthood is increasing, with concurrent growth and expansion in the use of ART. Coupled with an increasing prevalence of CKD in women and men of reproductive age, the importance of understanding fertility and reproductive technologies in this population is highlighted. This review endeavors to explore the female and male factors that affect fertility in the CKD population, as well as the evidence supporting strategies for reproductive care.
