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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects more than one in ten people worldwide. However, results from the REVEAL-CKD study suggest that it is often not diagnosed. Many patients are therefore unaware that they have CKD, putting them at increased risk of disease progression and complications. Empowering patients with knowledge about CKD will allow them to become active participants in their own care, driving improvements in diagnosis rates and changing patient outcomes for the better. In this article, we provide patient and clinician perspectives on the importance of early CKD diagnosis and management. We present an overview of the tests commonly used to diagnose CKD in clinical practice, as well as actionable suggestions for patients, clinicians, and health policymakers that could help improve disease detection and treatment. Navdeep Tangri, a nephrologist and epidemiologist at the University of Manitoba, and Jane DeMeis, a patient living with chronic kidney disease, discuss how results from the REVEAL-CKD study highlight the need for change to improve management of chronic kidney disease.
