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

aimsBlood levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) may be modified by low renal clearance and anaemia. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the blood NT-proBNP level on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with these two manifestations.

methodsThis post hoc analysis stemmed from the oBservational clinical Research In chronic kidney disease patients with renal anemia: renal proGnosis in patients with Hyporesponsive anemia To Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, darbepoetiN alfa (BRIGHTEN) trial, a large prospective study involving patients with non-dialysis kidney disease experiencing anaemia. The Pearson correlation coefficient was employed to examine the association of baseline NT-proBNP level with renal function or anaemia. Longitudinal assessment of the association of baseline blood NT-proBNP levels with cardiovascular outcomes (cardiac death, acute coronary syndrome, hospitalization due to heart failure or fatal arrhythmia) and renal outcomes [the initiation of maintenance dialysis, kidney transplantation, a 50% decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or an eGFR of ≤6 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsIn total, this study included 1484 patients [mean age, 70.2 ± 11.8 years; women, 40.6%; eGFR, 20.3 ± 9.6 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionsNT-proBNP provides prognostic insights into cardiovascular and renal outcomes among patients with advanced chronic kidney disease experiencing anaemia.
