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

Diabetes plays an important role in the complex relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease. This retrospective observational study compared the influence of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and proteinuria on the risk of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE; myocardial infarction or stroke) in CKD patients with and without diabetes. Data were from a linked database of UK electronic health records. Individuals with CKD and no prior MACE were classified as type 1 diabetes (T1DM; n = 164), type 2 diabetes (T2DM; n = 9,711), and non-diabetes (non-DM; n = 75,789). Monthly updated time-dependent Cox proportional hazard models were constructed to calculate adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) for progression to MACE from first record of abnormal eGFR or proteinuria (index date). In non-DM, aHRs (95% CIs) by baseline eGFR category (referent G2) were G1: 0.70 (0.55-0.90), G3a: 1.28 (1.20-1.35), G3b: 1.64 (1.52-1.76), G4: 2.19 (1.98-2.43), and G5: 3.12 (2.44-3.99), and by proteinuria category (referent A1) were A2: 1.13 (1.00-1.28), A2/3 (severity indeterminable): 1.58 (1.28-1.95), and A3: 1.64 (1.38-1.95). In T2DM, aHRs were G1: 0.98 (0.72-1.32), G3a: 1.18 (1.03-1.34), G3b: 1.31 (1.12-1.54), G4: 1.87 (1.53-2.29), G5: 2.87 (1.82-4.52), A2: 1.22 (1.04-1.42), A2/3: 1.45 (1.17-1.79), and A3: 1.82 (1.53-2.16). Low numbers in T1DM precluded analysis. Modelling T2DM and non-DM together, aHRs were, respectively, G1: 3.23 (2.38-4.40) and 0.70 (0.55-0.89); G2: 3.18 (2.73-3.70) and 1.00 (referent); G3a: 3.65 (3.13-4.25) and 1.28 (1.21-1.36); G3b: 4.01 (3.40-4.74) and 1.65 (1.54-1.77); G4: 5.78 (4.70-7.10) and 2.21 (2.00-2.45); G5: 9.00 (5.71-14.18) and 3.14 (2.46-4.00). In conclusion, reduced eGFR and proteinuria were independently associated with increased risk of MACE regardless of diabetes status. However, the risk of MACE in the same eGFR state was 4.6-2.4 times higher in T2DM than in non-DM.
