Ophthalmological changes in children with advanced stage of chronic kidney disease: a hospital-based study.
Article in BMJ paediatrics open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundOcular disorders can arise in the advanced stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) for various reasons, including uraemia, biochemical abnormalities, hypertension and inadequate haemodialysis treatment.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study at the Pediatric Nephrology Department, both inpatient and outpatient, of from January 2020 to July 2021. The study aimed to identify and compare ophthalmological changes among children at different stages of CKD to assess potential visual threats. A total of 92 children with advanced-stage CKD, aged 5-18 years, meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were included in the study. Comprehensive assessments, including medical history, physical examinations, relevant tests and detailed ophthalmological examinations, were conducted.
resultsThe mean age of the participants was 12.1±3.68 years. Most of the children were boys (66%). Twenty-nine patients exhibited impaired visual acuity, children with (6/60-6/24) scores in Snellen's chart Lid oedema and conjunctival pallor were observed in 20.7% and 60.9% of cases, respectively, which were found to statistically significant with advancing CKD stages (p<0.001). Dry eyes were found in 9.8% of CKD stage V patients receiving dialysis (VD) (p=0.003). One patient had a posterior subcapsular cataract, and 7.6% had conjunctival congestion. Patients with conjunctival congestion and hypertensive retinopathy had significantly higher levels of serum phosphate and calcium phosphate product (p<0.001). Hypertensive retinopathy was present in 16.3% of cases, with a significantly higher proportion in the haemodialysis group (93%). Haemodialysis patients exhibited higher blood pressure, lower haemoglobin levels, and a more severe reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate (p<0.001).
conclusionThis study highlights the significant ocular complications associated with CKD, underscoring the need for regular ophthalmological screenings.
