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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveAim of nephrologists is to delay the outcome and reduce the number of patients undergoing renal failure (RF) by applying prevention protocols and accurately monitoring chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. General practitioners and nephrologists are involved in the first and in the late stages of the disease, respectively. Early diagnosis of CKD is an important step in preventing the progression of kidney damage. Our aim was to review publications on machine learning algorithms (MLAs) that can predict early CKD and its progression.

methodsWe conducted a systematic review and selected 55 articles on the application of MLAs in CKD. PubMed, Medline, Scopus, Web of Science and IEEE Xplore Digital Library of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers were searched. The search terms were chronic kidney disease, artificial intelligence, data mining and machine learning algorithms.

resultsMLAs use enormous numbers of predictors combining them in non-linear and highly interactive ways. This ability increases when new data is added. We observed some limitations in the publications: (i) databases were not accurately reviewed by physicians; (ii) databases did not report the ethnicity of the patients; (iii) some databases collected variables that were not important for the diagnosis and progression of CKD; (iv) no information was presented on the native kidney disease causing CKD; (v) no validation of the results in external independent cohorts was provided; and (vi) no insights were given on the MLAs that were used. Overall, there was limited collaboration among experts in electronics, computer science and physicians.

conclusionsThe application of MLAs in kidney diseases may enhance the ability of clinicians to predict CKD and RF, thus improving diagnostic assistance and providing suitable therapeutic decisions. However, it is necessary to improve the development process of MLA tools.
