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

objectivesThe aim of the study was to assess the validity of an easy-to-calculate chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk score developed by the Data Collection on Adverse Events of Anti-HIV Drugs (D:A:D) group in a longitudinal observational study of people living with HIV (PLWH) in the USA.

methodsPLWH (2002-2016) without prior exposure to potentially nephrotoxic antiretroviral agents and with at least three estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) test results were identified in the Observational Pharmaco-Epidemiology Research and Analysis (OPERA

resultsThere were 19 444, 22 727 and 22 748 PLWH in the OPERA C-G, CKD-EPI and MDRD samples, respectively. The median (minimum-maximum) follow-up duration was 6.1 (0.3-9.1) years in the D:A:D cohort and ranged from 3.2 to 3.5 (0.2-15.5) years in the OPERA validation samples. The observation time for the majority of PLWH in the D:A:D cohort began prior to 2006, in stark contrast to the OPERA validation samples, where the majority of PLWH were observed after 2011. The CKD incidence ranged from 7.3 per 1000 person-years [95% confidence interval (CI) 6.8, 7.9 per 1000 person-years] in OPERA C-G to 11.0 (95% CI 10.4, 11.6 per 1000 person-years) in OPERA MDRD. In OPERA samples, IRRs by risk group and adjusted IRRs (full risk score) were similar to those in the D:A:D derivation cohort (adjusted IRR 1.3; 95% CI 1.3, 1.3). Harrell's c-statistic ranged from 0.87 to 0.92 in the OPERA samples, comparable to that in the derivation cohort (0.92). Results for short scores were similar.

conclusionsThe findings support the validity of the D:A:D risk scoring method for assessing CKD (stages 3-5) probability in an exclusively USA-based sample regardless of eGFR method.
