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

backgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global public health problem with a high prevalence and mortality. There is no sensitive and effective markers for chronic kidney disease. Previous studies proposed suPAR as an early predict biomarker for chronic kidney disease, but the results are controversial. Therefore, the purpose of the current meta-analysis is to evaluate the association between suPAR and CKD.

methodsWe searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library databases, and Web of Science before May 1, 2019. The search was based on the key words including suPAR and CKD. Data are extracted independently according to standard format, and quality analysis is performed. We extracted the concentration of suPAR and hazard rate (HR) values of mortality, cardiovascular disease, and end-stage renal disease.

resultsThere were 14 studies fulfilling the criteria. The concentration of suPAR was higher in patients with CKD than that in the control group (

conclusionsMonitoring suPAR concentrations may be used for early diagnosis and prognosis for patients with CKD, and the higher suPAR increased the risk of mortality, cardiovascular events, and end-stage renal disease.
