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
introductionChronic kidney disease (CKD) progression is associated with a significant incremental economic burden. Previous work has demonstrated high accuracy of the laboratory-based machine learning model, Klinrisk, in predicting the risk of CKD progression. We sought to use the Klinrisk model to evaluate the association of risk of CKD progression with healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and costs of care in adults with type 2 diabetes and CKD.
methodsThis retrospective observational study included 413,177 eligible patients from Optum's electronic health records database (1/1/2007-9/30/2022). Patients were classified into low-, medium-, and high-risk groups based on their 2-year risk of CKD progression as predicted by the Klinrisk model. All-cause HRU and medical costs during the 1 year after CKD were estimated for each group.
resultsOf the 413,177 patients included, 110,399 (26.7%) were classified as low-risk of CKD progression, 253,188 (61.3%) as medium-risk, and 49,590 (12.0%) as high-risk. The observed risk of CKD progression at 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years was 18.6%, 36.5%, and 54.1% for high-risk patients, 3.7%, 11.7%, and 26.4% for medium-risk patients, and 1.5%, 5.7%, and 15.8% for low-risk patients, which were similar to the predicted risks of CKD progression. High-risk patients had higher HRU and more than 2-3 times higher costs than lower-risk patients. Inpatient costs were the major cost driver for high-risk patients.
conclusionsThe Klinrisk model accurately identified patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD requiring the most healthcare resources. Such tools can support the identification and targeting of high-risk patients for interventions that may lead to a more cost-effective model of care.
