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

Introduction: Soluble urokinase plasminogen activation receptor (suPAR) is an immune-derived pathogenic factor for kidney and atherosclerotic disease. Whether the association between suPAR and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes is dependent on the severity of underlying kidney disease is unclear. Methods: We measured serum suPAR levels in 4994 participants (mean age 60 years; 60% men; 36% with diabetes mellitus; mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 49 ml/min per 1.73 m Results: The median suPAR level was 1771 pg/ml (interquartile range [IQR] 1447-2254 pg/ml). SuPAR levels were positively and independently correlated with age, eGFR, UACR, and parathyroid hormone levels. There were 573 deaths, including 190 CV deaths and 683 MACE events at a follow-up time of 6.5 years. In multivariable analyses, suPAR levels (log Conclusion: In a large cohort of individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), suPAR levels were associated with mortality and CV outcomes independently of indices of kidney function, consistent with its independent role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
