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

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a critical global health issue, with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as a significant contributing factor. Both primarily affect older adults, with prevalence rising substantially after age 60. This study examined global trends and disparities in CKD-associated HF among older adults from 1990 to 2021. Methods: Utilizing data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021, the study analyzed the prevalence and years lived with disability (YLDs) of CKD-associated HF. Joinpoint regression assessed trends from 1990 to 2021 globally, regionally, and nationally. Health inequity analysis, including the slope index of inequality and health inequality concentration index, evaluated disparities across countries. Results: From 1990 to 2021, the prevalence and YLDs of CKD-associated HF increased globally, with an average annual percentage change (AAPC) of 2.21% [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.17-2.25] and 2.20% (95% CI, 2.16-2.24), respectively. Males exhibited higher prevalence and YLDs but demonstrated a slower increase than females. The low-SDI region exhibited the highest burden, while the high-SDI region showed an unfavorable increase. Socioeconomic disparities were decreased but persisted. From 1990 to 2021, the inequality slope index for prevalence decreased from 143.66 (95% CI, 167.68-119.65) to 114.12 (95% CI, 151.59-76.65), whereas the health inequality concentration index improved from -0.21 (95% CI, -0.30 to -0.12) to -0.07 (95% CI, -0.14 to 0) for prevalence. Conclusion: The global burden of CKD-associated HF has increased substantially, with persistent disparities across gender and SDI levels. Strengthening preventive measures and implementing effective interventions are essential to addressing this escalating health challenge.
