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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients typically progress to kidney failure, but the rate of progression differs per patient or may not occur at all. Current CKD screening methods are sub-optimal at predicting progressive kidney function decline. This investigation develops a model for predicting progressive CKD based on a panel of biomarkers representing the pathophysiological processes of CKD, kidney function, and common CKD comorbidities. Two patient cohorts are utilised: The CKD Queensland Registry (n = 418), termed the Biomarker Discovery cohort; and the CKD Biobank (n = 62), termed the Predictive Model cohort. Progression status is assigned with a composite outcome of a ≥30% decline in eGFR from baseline, initiation of dialysis, or kidney transplantation. Baseline biomarker measurements are compared between progressive and non-progressive patients via logistic regression. In the Biomarker Discovery cohort, 13 biomarkers differed significantly between progressive and non-progressive patients, while 10 differed in the Predictive Model cohort. From this, a predictive model, based on a biomarker panel of serum creatinine, osteopontin, tryptase, urea, and eGFR, was calculated via linear discriminant analysis. This model has an accuracy of 84.3% when predicting future progressive CKD at baseline, greater than eGFR (66.1%), sCr (67.7%), albuminuria (53.2%), or albumin-creatinine ratio (53.2%).
