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

The heart and the kidney are intimately connected. They communicate in a bidirectional manner through a variety of pathways, forming an interdependent relationship. Recognition of this co-dependency is crucial in managing patients with cardiorenal syndrome, as we begin to realise the inevitability of disease progression to both organs; and an approach that focuses treatment on one organ may result in worsening outcome on the other organ. When faced with patients with deteriorating cardiac disease, nephrologists tend to focus on stabilisation of cardiac function and accept the heart disease to be unmodifiable. Likewise, cardiac patients with persistent kidney failure are presented with a poor renal prognosis and prepared for kidney transplantation. Adopting a cardio-protective approach in combination with dialysis optimisation raises hope for a more positive outcome with evidence of cardiac and renal recovery in some patients.
