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

backgroundThe prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in African American individuals is high but whether this applies to native populations in sub-Saharan Africa is unclear.

methodsIn a cross-sectional study, we assessed the prevalence and risk factors of CKD in rural and urban adults in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated using the CKD-Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations based on serum creatinine (eGFRcr), cystatin C (eGFRcys), or both markers (eGFRcr-cys), without ethnic correction factor. CKD was defined as an eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m

resultsA total of 1317 participants aged 41.1 ± 17.1 years (730 rural, 587 urban) were enrolled. The prevalence of hypertension (20.2%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 18-22.3), diabetes mellitus (4.3%; 95% CI, 3.2-5.4) and obesity (8.9%; 95% CI, 7.4-10.5) was higher in urban than rural participants (all

conclusionOverall, the burden of CKD is substantial (>11%), predominantly in the urban area, and largely driven by classic risk factors (gender, aging, HIV, hypertension, and diabetes).
