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

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) increases progressively throughout fetal life, matures rapidly after birth according to gestational and post-menstrual age, and reaches adult values by 1-year post-natal age. GFR is considered the best marker of kidney function, and in clinical practice, estimated GFR is useful to anticipate complications, establish prognosis, and facilitate treatment decisions. This review article summarizes the maturation of glomerular filtration and the factors and conditions that modulate and impair developing glomerular filtration, and discusses the techniques available to assess GFR in neonates and infants. We focused on simple, reliable, easily available, and cheap techniques to estimate GFR, which may provide valuable information on the renal aspects of the clinical care of this group of patients.
