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
introductionDeveloping effective treatments in chronic, progressive diseases like chronic kidney disease (CKD) is challenging because patients may only experience relevant outcomes such as kidney failure after long periods of disease progression. Surrogate endpoints provide a valuable alternative to definitive final patient-relevant outcomes, which may accelerate clinical development processes. However, optimal utilization of surrogate endpoints for reimbursement decisions requires alignment across multiple stakeholders, including health technology assessment (HTA) bodies and reimbursement agencies, who are generally more cautious than regulatory bodies in their acceptance of surrogate endpoint evidence. The aim of this paper is to propose a strategic roadmap to facilitate cross-stakeholder collaboration and support the consideration of surrogate endpoints in regulatory and reimbursement decisions.
methodsAn international group of experts in surrogate endpoints, reimbursement decisions, and kidney disease formed The REnal Surrogacy accEpTance in Chronic Kidney Disease (RESET CKD) Collaboration. This scientific steering committee held several meetings to develop a roadmap of activities with the aim of enabling the appropriate consideration of surrogate endpoints through structured multi-stakeholder engagement involving regulators, clinicians, HTA bodies, payers, industry, and patients.
resultsThe strategic roadmap focuses on four areas: identifying the need for evidence; engaging stakeholders; collaborating in regulatory and reimbursement processes; and disseminating evidence. The RESET CKD collaboration is currently implementing the roadmap in the field of CKD through collating relevant evidence for a CKD-relevant surrogate endpoint in a scientific playbook, conducting economic evaluations, developing a position paper, and engaging patient groups.
conclusionsDisparities between regulatory and reimbursement processes and decisions underscore the need for a structured approach to enhancing transparency, consistency, and timeliness in the use of surrogate endpoint evidence in healthcare decision-making. The roadmap developed through the RESET CKD Collaboration addresses this need and is already demonstrating practical value in its implementation. Although initially focused on CKD, the framework is designed to be transferable to other therapeutic areas. Key challenges remain, including the integration of surrogate endpoints into adaptive pricing models and performance-based agreements.
