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

aimsThis study examines global trends in cardiovascular disease (CVD) associated with kidney dysfunction (KD) from 1990 to 2021 and projects future trends through 2050.

methodsThis study analyzed the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database, focusing on age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), age-standardized disability-adjusted life years rate (ASDR), absolute numbers, estimated annual percentage change, and average annual percent change. A Bayesian age-period-cohort model was employed to project global trends from 2022 to 2050. Variables included age, gender, national levels, and Socio-demographic Index (SDI) regions.

resultsFrom 1990 to 2021, the CVD burden from KD increased, with deaths rising from 1,312,393 to 2,095,800 and DALYs from 27,382,767 to 41,589,861. However, the ASMR decreased from 40.58 per 100,000 in 1990 to 25.55 in 2021, while ASDR fell from 742.17 to 489.81 during the same period. The burden was higher in men, peaking at ages 70-74 and in women at ages 85-89. Regions with lower-middle and low SDI recorded the highest CVD burden, inversely related to SDI levels. Geographically, Central Asia and Eastern Europe recorded the highest rates, while high-income Asia Pacific and Southern Latin America had the lowest. Projections suggest a sustained decline in global CVD burden due to KD from 2022 to 2050, although disparities between sexes are expected to persist, with men bearing a heavier burden.

conclusionCVD attributable to KD remains a major global public health challenge, especially for men, the elderly, and low SDI regions. These spatial and temporal variations highlight the need for region-specific healthcare strategies.
