Evaluation of cardiac remodeling in pediatric chronic kidney disease by cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

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
backgroundChildren with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the reference method for assessing cardiac remodeling. To our knowledge, no study has reported a comprehensive analysis of left ventricular(LV) cardiac remodeling using CMR in different stages of pediatric CKD. This prospective case-control study aimed to investigate cardiac remodeling in pediatric CKD, using CMR, and determine its relationship with risk factors.
methodCMR was performed in 124 children with CKD and 50 controls. The cardiac remodeling parameters included left ventricular mass index (LVMI), LV remodeling index (LVRI), and LV wall thickness. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to assess the cardiac remodeling risk factors.
resultsCardiac remodeling was observed in 35.5% (44/124) of children with CKD. The LVMI, LVRI, and LV wall thickness were higher in advanced stages of CKD (P < 0.05). In the CKD stage 1-2 group, a lower in the estimated glomerular filtration rate was an independent determinant of impaired LVMI (β = -0.425, P = 0.019) and LVRI (β = -0.319, P = 0.044). A higher protein to creatinine ratio(PCR) was independently associated with impaired LVRI (β = 0.429, P = 0.022). In the CKD stage 3-5 group, higher in systolic blood pressure (SBP) (β = 0.464, P = 0.005) and PCR (β = 0.852, P = 0.031) were independent determinants of impaired LVMI. Additionally, higher SBP was positively correlated with impaired LVRI(r = 0.599, P < 0.001). There was a trend toward more abnormal cardiac remodeling in the CKD stage 3-5 group with hypertension than those without.
conclusionCardiac remodeling is prevalent in children with CKD, from an early stage. kidney markers are independently associated with cardiac remodeling. Hypertension increases the risk of cardiac remodeling in CKD stages 3-5. Strict BP control may help reverse or prevent remodeling.
