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 cardiorenal nexus encompasses a bidirectional relationship between the heart and the kidneys. Chronic abnormalities in cardiac function can lead to progressive kidney disease, and chronic kidney disease can lead to progressively decreasing cardiac function and increasing risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart failure. About 15% of US adults have chronic kidney disease, 2% have heart failure, and 9% have cardiovascular disease. Prevalence rates of chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and associated morbidities such as type 2 diabetes are expected to increase with an aging population. Observational studies provide evidence for the cardiorenal nexus. Follow-up data from placebo arms of clinical trials in chronic kidney disease or cardiovascular disease show higher rates of renal and cardiovascular outcome events in patient subgroups with type 2 diabetes than in those without type 2 diabetes. The cardiorenal syndromes develop along an interlinked pathophysiological trajectory that requires a holistic, collaborative approach involving a multidisciplinary team. There is now a compendium of treatment options. Greater understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of the cardiorenal nexus will support optimization of the management of these interlinked disease states.
