Kidney replacement therapy for men and women according to the ERA Registry and the USRDS.

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
backgroundThis article compares the incidence and prevalence of kidney replacement therapy (KRT), kidney transplantation rates and mortality on KRT between Europe and the USA, including sex comparisons.
methodsData were derived for 2022 from the population-based European Renal Association (ERA) Registry and the United States Renal Data System (USRDS).
resultsIn 2022, the KRT incidence in the USA [388.7 per million population (pmp)] was 2.7-fold higher than in Europe (146.2 pmp), with a greater difference for women (3.2-fold) than for men (2.4-fold). The proportion of women initiating KRT was lower in Europe (35%) than in the USA (41%). Between 2013 and 2022, the KRT incidence in Europe was stable in women (+0.1% annually) but increased in men (+1.1%). In the USA, the KRT incidence increased similarly in women (+0.2%) and men (+0.3%). On 31 December 2022, the KRT prevalence was 2-fold (women 2.2-fold, men 1.9-fold) higher in the USA (2444.2 pmp) than in Europe (1218.6 pmp). The proportion of women was lower in Europe (38%) than in the USA (41%). The kidney transplantation rate was 1.7-fold higher in the USA (79.1 pmp) than in Europe (45.4 pmp), 1.9-fold for women and 1.7-fold for men, with women accounting for 37% of the recipients versus 39% in the USA. The KRT mortality rate was 1.5 times higher in the USA [145.0 per 1000 patient-years (py)] compared with Europe (100.5 per 1000 py): 1.6-fold for women and 1.4-fold for men. In Europe, mortality was lower for women receiving KRT (93.7 per 1000 py) than for men (104.6 per 1000 py), whereas in the USA the reverse was true (women 148.9 per 1000 py, men 142.2 per 1000 py).
conclusionThe US had a notably higher KRT incidence, prevalence, kidney transplantation rate and mortality compared with Europe. Differences between Europe and the USA were larger for women than for men.
