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

Low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c) is the most remarkable lipid trait both in mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients as well as in advanced renal disease stages, and we have previously shown that reduced lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) concentration is a major determinant of the low HDL phenotype. In the present study, we test the hypothesis that reduced LCAT concentration in CKD contributes to the progression of renal damage. The study includes two cohorts of subjects selected from the PLIC study: a cohort of 164 patients with CKD (NefroPLIC cohort) and a cohort of 164 subjects selected from the PLIC participants with a basal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 60 mL/min/1.73 m
