Comparative analysis of mortality and progression to end-stage renal disease between surgically induced and medical chronic kidney disease: A study using the National Health Insurance customized database.
Article in Investigative and clinical urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
purposeWe aimed to compare the mortality rate and the risk for progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) between patients who underwent surgery for localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and those with chronic kidney disease (CKD) without surgery by investigating the National Health Insurance Service. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe surgical group (CKD-S) included patients who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy for RCC from 2007 to 2009. Grades of surgical CKD were classified according to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) measured at a health screening within 2 years after surgery. The nonsurgical group (CKD-M) was graded according to the eGFR in the 2009-2010 health screenings. We performed 1:5 propensity score matching for age, gender, diabetes, hypertension, Charlson comorbidity index, smoking, alcohol consumption, baseline eGFR, and body mass index.
resultsA total of 8,698 patients (CKD-S, n=1,521; CKD-M, n=7,177) were analyzed. The CKD-M group was at higher risk for progression to ESRD (hazard ratio [HR] 1.90, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-3.44, p=0.036) and CVD (HR 1.17, 95% CI 1.06-1.29, p=0.002) than the CKD-S group. In the group of patients with grade 3 disease or higher, the CKD-M group was at significantly higher risk for progression to ESRD (HR 2.21, 95% CI 1.47-3.31, p<0.001), CVD (HR 1.32, 95% CI 1.20-1.45, p<0.001), and overall mortality (HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.21-1.86, p<0.001).
conclusionsThe risk for progression to ESRD, CVD, or mortality in patients with CKD-S may be lower than in patients with CKD-M.
