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

It is well known that the worldwide prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has risen to over 10% of the general population during the past decades. Patients with CKD are at increased risk of both kidney failure and cardiovascular disease (CVD), posing a substantial health challenge. Therefore, screening for CKD is warranted to identify and treat patients early to prevent progression and complications. In this issue of the Journal, Yeo and colleagues provide an updated systematic review of the cost-effectiveness of screening for CKD in the general adult population. They show that screening for CKD in high-risk populations is cost-effective and that there is limited evidence for screening the general population. It should be noted that most studies they discuss do not consider the benefit of screening to prevent CVD in addition to preventing kidney failure, the treatment effect of novel therapeutic agents such as SGLT2 inhibitors, and the possibility of screening in a home-based setting. These three aspects will likely improve the cost-effectiveness of CKD screening, making it feasible to move towards general population screening for CKD.
