Despite National Declines In Kidney Failure Incidence, Disparities Widened Between Low- And High-Poverty US Counties.
Article in Health affairs (Project Hope), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
National estimates suggest that kidney failure incidence is declining in the US. However, whether this trend is evident in areas with socioeconomic disadvantage is unknown. We examined trends in kidney failure incidence by county-level poverty between 2000 and 2017 and divided the study period into period 1 (2000-05), period 2 (2006-11), and period 3 (2012-17). The magnitude of disparity in kidney failure incidence between high- and low-poverty counties increased from 42.8 more incident cases per million in high-poverty counties in period 1 to 100.1 more in period 3. Despite a national decline, kidney failure incidence increased in high-poverty counties, and disparities between high- and low-poverty counties widened from 2000 to 2017. Achieving the Department of Health and Human Services objective of reducing incident kidney failure cases by 25 percent by 2030 will require focused attention on preventing kidney failure in counties with higher poverty.
