Article in Kidney medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06046261 (Exploring the Impact of " ACP Board Game for Life" on Death Preparation and Anxiety in Patients With Stage 4 and 5 Chronic Kidney Diseases), which is not on this map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Rationale & Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent condition with high mortality rates. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is accepted as the leading cause of death in CKD, but data are limited, and no study has evaluated the cause of death in those with progressive CKD versus stable kidney function. Study Design: Retrospective cohort. Setting & Participants: Adults receiving primary care at M Health Fairview (MHFV) after December 31, 2012, with linked Minnesota Death Index data before December 31, 2019, were included. A second cohort was created from adult participants in the 1996-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) linked with the National Death Index through 2015. Individuals with kidney replacement therapy at baseline were excluded. Exposures: Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and proteinuria assessed at baseline defined the exposure categories for MHFV and NHANES. CKD progression in MHFV was also defined as an eGFR decrease ≥30% from baseline or incident kidney replacement therapy. Outcome: CVD-, malignancy-, and dementia-attributed death. Analytical Approach: Multinomial logistic regression. Results: For both cohorts, CVD death was more common than malignancy death for those with eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m Limitations: Limited follow-up and, for MHFV, nonprotocolized measures of kidney function were limitations, as were the intrinsic accuracy limitations for death certificates. Conclusions: CVD death is the most significant cause of death observed for those with a reduced eGFR irrespective of CKD progression.
