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

backgroundThis study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of dialysis for the treatment of patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN).

methodsWe will comprehensively retrieve the following databases of Cochrane Library, PUBMED, EMBASE, Global health, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, CBM, Wangfang, and CNKI for studies related to the topic. We will search all those electronic databases from their inceptions to the present without restrictions of language and publication status. Two authors will independently conduct all procedures of study selection, data collection, and risk of bias assessment. We will apply RevMan 5.3 software for statistical analysis.

resultsWe will systematically investigate the efficacy and safety of dialysis for DN through assessing primary and secondary outcomes. The primary outcomes include improvement in renal function, as assessed by the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and serum creatinine levels. The secondary outcomes consist of levels of inflammatory markers, endothelial dysfunction markers, quality of life, and any expected and unexpected adverse events.

conclusionThis study will present evidence on the efficacy and safety of dialysis for the treatment of patients with DN. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: PROSPERO CRD42019149699.
