Clinicodemographic Profile of Kidney Diseases in a Tertiary Hospital of Central Nepal, Chitwan: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionSpectrum of kidney diseases differs significantly in developing and developed countries. However, there is no central registry regarding the nature of such diseases in Nepal and our center either. The study aims to know the clinicodemographic spectrum of kidney disease patients admitted to our hospital.
methodsThis study was a descriptive cross sectional study done in the department of Nephrology, College of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital from May 2018 to April 219. Convenient sampling was done and all the consecutive kidney disease patients irrespective of their age, sex, and renal diagnosis were included in the study. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee of the college (reference number. 2016/COMSTH/IRC/049). Clinicodemographic profile of kidney diseases were studied using statistical package for the social sciences version 20 and were represented as mean, standard deviation, number, percentage and ratio.
resultsOut of a total of 829 patients, the commonest clinical syndrome and the histological patterns were end-stage renal disease 248 (29.9%) and IgA nephropathy 18 (20.7%) respectively. The mean age was 51.4±18.6 years. The commonest reason for hospitalization was sepsis 372 (44.8%). Males were 486 (58.6%) and females were 343 (41.4%).
conclusionsThe commonest clinical presentation and the reason for admissions were end-stage renal disease and sepsis syndrome respectively.
