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

This retrospective study investigated the incidence, medication use, and outcomes in pediatric autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). A 1:4 matched control group of individuals included in the NHIRD during the same period was used for comparative analyses. A total of 621 pediatric patients were identified from 2009 to 2019 (mean age, 9.51 ± 6.43 years), and ADPKD incidence ranged from 2.32 to 4.45 per 100,000 individuals (cumulative incidence, 1.26-1.57%). The incidence of newly developed hypertension, anti-hypertensive agent use, nephrolithiasis, and proteinuria were significantly higher in the ADPKD group than the non-ADPKD group (0.7 vs. 0.04, 2.26 vs. 0.30, 0.4 vs. 0.02, and 0.73 vs. 0.05 per 100 person-years, respectively). The adjusted hazard ratios for developing hypertension, proteinuria, nephrolithiasis and anti-hypertensive agent use in cases of newly-diagnosed pediatric ADPKD were 12.36 (95% CI 4.92-31.0), 13.49 (95% CI 5.23-34.79), 13.17 (95% CI 2.48-69.98), and 6.38 (95% CI 4.12-9.89), respectively. The incidence of congenital cardiac defects, hematuria, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal diverticulosis, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia were also higher in the ADPKD group. Our study offers valuable insights into the epidemiology of pediatric ADPKD in Taiwan and could help in formulating guidelines for its appropriate management.
