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

objectiveDietary interventions are the mainstay of chronic diseases prevention in general population, but the evidence to support such therapeutic approaches in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is less robust. The objective of this study is to examine the association between dietary fiber intake and adverse cardiovascular and kidney outcomes and all-cause mortality in participants with CKD enrolled in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort study. DESIGN AND

methodsA total of 3791 Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort participants with self-reported dietary fiber intake were included in the analyses stratified by tertiles of dietary fiber at study baseline. Hazard ratios for occurrence of all-cause mortality, composite cardiovascular events and composite kidney events were calculated using Cox Proportional Hazards models adjusted for demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics, including levels of inflammatory markers, C-reactive protein and interleukin-6.

resultsMean daily dietary fiber intake was 15.2 g/day. During a median (standard deviation) follow up of 14.6 (4.4) years, 1074 deaths from any cause occurred. In multivariable adjusted models, participants in the middle and low dietary fiber tertiles had a 19% (hazard ratio [95% CI]), 1.19 [1.02, 1.39]) and 11% (1.11 [0.95, 1.31]) greater risk of death respectively, compared to those in the highest fiber intake tertile. No statistically significant associations were observed between dietary fiber intake and adverse cardiovascular and kidney outcomes. Higher dietary fiber intake was not significantly associated with lower levels of C-reactive protein and interleukin-6.

conclusionA lower intake of dietary fiber was not associated with all-cause mortality in participants with CKD after adjustments for kidney function and inflammatory biomarkers. There was no significant association between dietary fiber intake and adverse kidney and cardiovascular outcomes. Future randomized intervention trials are needed to identify whether a high dietary fiber intake translates into improved clinical outcomes in CKD.
