Circulating Proteins and Mortality in CKD: A Proteomics Study of the AASK and ARIC Cohorts.

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
Rationale & Objective: Proteomics could provide pathophysiologic insight into the increased risk of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to investigate associations between the circulating proteome and all-cause mortality among patients with CKD. Study Design: Observational cohort study. Setting & Participants: Primary analysis in 703 participants in the African American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK) and validation in 1,628 participants with CKD in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study who attended visit 5. Exposure: Circulating proteins. Outcome: All-cause mortality. Analytical Approach: Among AASK participants, we evaluated the associations of 6,790 circulating proteins with all-cause mortality using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. Proteins with significant associations were further studied in ARIC Visit 5 participants with CKD. Results: In the AASK cohort, the mean age was 54.5 years, 271 (38.5%) were women, and the mean measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 46 mL/min/1.73 m Limitations: Possibility of unmeasured confounding. Cause of death was not known. Conclusions: Using large-scale proteomic analysis, proteins were reproducibly associated with mortality in 2 cohorts of participants with CKD. Plain-Language Summary: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a high risk of premature death, with various pathophysiological processes contributing to this increased risk of mortality. This observational cohort study aimed to investigate the associations between circulating proteins and all-cause mortality in patients with CKD using large-scale proteomic analysis. The study analyzed data from the African American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK) study and validated the findings in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study. A total of 6,790 circulating proteins were evaluated in AASK, and 7 proteins were significantly associated with all-cause mortality. Three of these proteins (β
