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

Objective: This meta-analysis evaluated the effects and potential harms of Methods: We searched for the randomized clinical trials (RCTs) through databases including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Current Controlled Trials, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform (Wanfang Data), China Biology Medicine Disc (SinoMed), and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR). Meta-analysis was performed with STATA 16 software after data extraction. The risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool (RoB 2.0), and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework was employed to evaluate the quality of evidence. Result: A total of 32 studies were included involving 2264 participants. Compared to the control group, the treatment group significantly decreased serum creatinine (SCr) (SMD -0.60, 95% CI -0.79 to -0.41, Conclusions:
