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

backgroundAlthough there is debate regarding the timing of initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in adults with end-stage renal disease, there is a paucity of reliable epidemiological data on pediatric patients. The present study was performed to investigate current practice in Japan with regard to the timing of initiation of RRT in children based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

methodsA total of 649 pediatric patients < 20 years old with eGFR at the initiation of RRT between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2013 were included in the study. Baseline eGFR was calculated for each patient using the Schwartz formula.

resultseGFR at the start of RRT was 12.1 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionsThe median eGFR at the initiation of RRT in children showed a wide range of variation. Further studies are needed to investigate the impact of the decision regarding when to initiate RRT in individual pediatric patients.
