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

introductionDiabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the commonest cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease worldwide, consequently it has become an important productive implication to the healthcare system. This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of non-DKD (NDKD) in diabetic patients from south India.

objectiveTo assess the prevalence of NDKD in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients presenting to a tertiary care hospital from south India and also to analyze clinical clues to establish a diagnosis of NDKD. PATIENT AND

methodsIt is a retrospective observational study of analyzing patient characteristics and renal biopsies. All Diabetic patients with a clinical suspicion of non-diabetic kidney disease who underwent renal biopsy during the study period between January 2012 and June 2017 were included. Based on the biopsy findings, the patients were classified into three groups (isolated diabetic nephropathy, isolated NDKD, and NDKD with underlying diabetic nephropathy) and patients' characteristics were compared between the groups for analysis.

resultsA total of 236 renal biopsies were analyzed for the study. Of that, 114 had features of DKD, 78 NDKD with diabetic nephropathy (DN) and 44 had isolated NDKD. Acute interstitial nephritis was the most common cause of NDKD.

conclusionFrom the current study, the long duration of diabetes mellitus beyond five years and hypertension beyond two years reasonably predict DKD.
