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

Kidney function evaluation is crucial to the practice of medicine. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is commonly accepted as the best measure of renal function. In most clinical settings, GFR is usually estimated. However, in some clinical scenarios, measuring GFR is mandatory. The currently used methods to measure GFR are comparatively expensive and time-consuming. As a compromise between measured and estimated GFR, an individually calibrated estimated GFR (iceGFR) equation was developed, and its performance was compared to conventional estimated GFR (eGFR) and a population calibrated estimated GFR (pceGFR). Data from fifty-three (53) patients who had serial
