Preventing CKD in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Call for Urgent Action.
Review in Kidney international reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The epidemiologic transition occurring in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has led to a surge in chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence because of a combination of highly prevalent chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and communicable diseases (CDs). The progressive rise in CKD prevalence in LMICs threatens the existing weak health systems in these countries as care for advanced CKD remains largely unavailable and unaffordable. An interplay of low literacy levels, poor health-seeking behavior, inadequate health care funding, weak health systems, and lack of skilled nephrology workforce has made it difficult for adequate CKD preventive measures to be implemented. Primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention measures need to be instituted in LMICs by a collaboration of governmental and nongovernmental organizations to stem this tide and help prevent deaths from other NCDs that share similar risk factors with CKD. For these to be effective, locally relevant knowledge is needed to contextualize existing prevention and control solutions, or to develop novel and more appropriate solutions for LMICs.
