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 main purpose was to determine basic epidemiological data on CKD among hospitalized pediatric patients in China.

methodsData from pediatric inpatients with CKD hospitalized from June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2017 were extracted from the electronic records of HQMS database, which includes over 14 million inpatients. Codes from the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) were used to search the database.

resultsA total of 524 primary diseases of CKD were included in this study. In all, there were 278 231 pediatric inpatients with CKD, which accounted for 1.95 % of the 14 250 594 pediatric inpatients registered in the HQMS database. The number of pediatric inpatients with CKD was 67 498 in 2013, 76 810 in 2014, 81 665 in 2015 and 82 649 in 2016, which accounted for 1.93 %, 1.93 %, 1.99 and 2.09 %, respectively, of the total population of pediatric inpatients. The etiology of CKD was secondary nephrosis in 37.95 % of cases, which ranked first and followed by CAKUT with a percentage of 24.61 %. Glomerular diseases and cystic kidney disease accounted for 21.18 and 5.07 %, respectively. Among all 278 231 patients, 6 581 (2.37 %) had a primary discharge diagnosis of CKD. The renal pathology findings of CKD showed that IgA accounted for 51.17 %.

conclusionsThis study provides a descriptive analysis of the hospitalized population of pediatric CKD patients. Our study provides important, fundamental data for policy making and legislation, registry implementation and the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of CKD in China.
