Misdiagnosis of chronic kidney disease and parathyroid hormone testing during the past 16 years.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent pathological condition worldwide. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is an important index related to bone metabolism in CKD patients and has not received enough attention. This study was performed to investigate the incidence and diagnostic rate of CKDin hospital as well as PTH testing and treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with stage 3 to 5 CKD. The data of patients who visited Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from February 2006 to April 2022 were retrieved from the hospital database. All data were divided into three subgroups using PTH testing and SHPT treatment as major comparative indicators for analysis. The data were then analyzed for overall PTH testing, CKD incidence, and diagnostic rate. Among 5,301,391 patients, the incidence of CKD was 13.14%. The missed diagnosis rate for CKD was 65.76%. The total PTH testing rate was 1.22%, of which 15.37% of PTH testing was performed in patients with stage 3 to 5 CKD. The overall diagnosis rate of SHPT in patients with stage 3 to 5 CKD was 31.0%. The prophylactic medication rate was 7.4%, and the rate of post-diagnostic drug therapy was 22.2% in patients who underwent SHPT treatment. The high misdiagnosis rate and low PTH testing rate of CKD requires prompt attention from clinicians. SHPT treatment should be considered especially in patients with stage 3 to 5 CKD.
