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

backgroundProtein energy wasting (PEW), a state of deficient protein storage, is not well understood in children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to re-define PEW using pediatric malnutrition guidelines from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics/American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (AND/ASPEN), and to describe the relationship between PEW, malnutrition, and kidney function.

methodsThis was a retrospective review of outpatients ≤ 20 years old with a diagnosis of CKD from January 1, 2013, to August 31, 2018. Malnutrition was diagnosed by a licensed dietitian, and PEW was diagnosed using an updated definition incorporating AND/ASPEN malnutrition guidelines. Logistic regression and linear mixed effects modeling were performed on the relationship of malnutrition and PEW to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

resultsThe 142 patients included in this analysis had a median age of 11.1 years and median eGFR of 57 ml/min/1.73 m

conclusionsMalnutrition and PEW are prevalent in pediatric CKD and are associated with significantly lower eGFR and more rapid decline in eGFR, emphasizing the need to address nutritional status. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
