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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsRace coefficients (RC) in equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) have been highly questioned. We aimed to evaluate the performance of three equations, namely 2009 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (2009 CKD-EPI), 2021 CKD-EPI, and European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) in self-reported Black and White Brazilians. MATERIALS AND

methodsOur cross-sectional study compared estimated GFR (eGFR) with

resultsThree hundred six White adults (aged 53 ± 17 years, 55% women, mean mGFR: 83 ± 32 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionsThe 2021 CKD-EPI does not outperform the 2009 CKD-EPI. Instead, it underestimated the occurrence of CKD in White participants. Thus, we do not recommend replacing the 2009 with the new 2021 CKD-EPI in the Brazilian population.
