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) negatively affects bone strength; however, the osteoporotic conditions in patients with CKD are not fully understood. Moreover, the changes in bone microstructure between pre-dialysis and dialysis are unknown. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) reveals the three-dimensional microstructures of the bone. We aimed to evaluate bone microstructures in patients with different stages of CKD. This study included 119 healthy men and 40 men admitted to Nagasaki University Hospital for inpatient education or the initiation of hemodialysis. The distal radius and tibia were scanned with HR-pQCT. Patient clinical characteristics and bone microstructures were evaluated within 3 months of initiation of hemodialysis (in patients with CKD stage 5 D), patients with CKD stage 4-5, and healthy volunteers. Cortical bone parameters were lower in the CKD group than in healthy controls. Tibial cortical and trabecular bone parameters (cortical thickness, cortical area, trabecular volumetric bone mineral density, trabecular-bone volume fraction, and trabecular thickness) differed between patients with CKD stage 5 D and those with CKD stage 4-5 (
