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

Introduction: Prediction of disease progression at all stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) may help improve patient outcomes. As such, we aimed to develop and externally validate a random forest model to predict progression of CKD using demographics and laboratory data. Methods: The model was developed in a population-based cohort from Manitoba, Canada, between April 1, 2006, and December 31, 2016, with external validation in Alberta, Canada. A total of 77,196 individuals with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 10 ml/min per 1.73 m Results: The final model achieved an AUC of 0.88 (95% CI 0.87-0.89) at 2 years and 0.84 (0.83-0.85) at 5 years in internal testing. Discrimination and calibration were preserved in the external validation data set with AUC scores of 0.87 (0.86-0.88) at 2 years and 0.84 (0.84-0.86) at 5 years. The top 30% of individuals predicted as high risk and intermediate risk represent 87% of CKD progression events in 2 years and 77% of progression events in 5 years. Conclusion: A machine learning model that leverages routinely collected laboratory data can predict eGFR decline or kidney failure with accuracy.
