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 role of indoxyl sulfate (IS), an important protein-bound uremic toxin, in arterial stiffness (AS) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unclear. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe investigated the association between serum IS levels and AS in a cross-sectional study of 155 patients with CKD. Patients in the AS group was defined as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) value >10 m/s measured by a validated tonometry system (SphygmoCor), while values ≤10 m/s were regarded as without AS group Serum IS was measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis.

resultsOf these CKD patients, AS was present in 51 (32.9%) patients, who were older, had a higher rate of diabetes, higher systolic blood pressure (SBP), and higher IS levels compared to those without AS. By multivariable logistic regression analysis, IS (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.436, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.085-1.901,

conclusionThese finding demonstrate that in addition to older and higher SBP, a high serum IS level is a significant biomarker associated with AS in patients with CKD.
