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

backgroundHypertension is commonly observed in patients living with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Finding an optimal treatment regime remains challenging due to the complex bidirectional cause-and-effect relationship between hypertension and CKD. There remains variability in antihypertensive treatment practices.

aimTo analyze data from the Salford Kidney Study database in relation to antihypertensive prescribing patterns amongst CKD patients.

methodsThe Salford Kidney Study is an ongoing prospective study that has been recruiting CKD patients since 2002. All patients are followed up annually, and their medical records including the list of medications are updated until they reach study endpoints [starting on renal replacement therapy or reaching estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) expressed as mL/min/1.73 m

resultsThree thousand two hundred and thirty non-dialysis-dependent CKD patients with data collected between October 2002 and December 2019 were included. The median age was 65 years. A greater proportion of patients were taking three or more antihypertensive agents with advancing CKD stages (53% of eGFR ≤ 15 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionAntihypertensive prescribing patterns in the Salford Kidney Study based on CKD stage were consistent with expectations from the current United Kingdom National Institute of Health and Care Excellence guideline algorithm. Outcomes were poorer in patients with poor blood pressure control despite being on multiple antihypertensive agents. Continued research is required to bridge remaining variations in hypertension treatment practices worldwide.
