Kidney Failure Risk Equation in vascular access planning: a population-based study supporting value in decision making.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: The Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) can play a better role in vascular access (VA) planning in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) requiring hemodialysis (HD). We described the VA creation and utilization pattern under existing estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)-based referral, and investigated the utility of KFRE score as an adjunct variable in VA planning. Methods: Patients with CKD aged ≥18 years with eGFR <20 mL/min/1.73 m Results: Study included 2581 patients, median age 71 years, 60% male. Overall, 1562(61%) started HD and 276 (11%) experienced death before HD initiation within 2 years. Compared with current referral, the proportion of patients who started HD on AVF/G was significantly higher when KFRE-2 was considered in addition to current referral (49% vs 58%, Conclusions: KFRE in addition to existing eGFR-based referral for VA creation has the potential to improve VA resource utilization by ensuring more patients start HD on AVF/G and may minimize too-early/unnecessary creation. Prospective research is necessary to validate these findings.
