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

Purpose of Program: In 2018, Ontario Health (Ontario Renal Network) established a new multidisciplinary model of glomerulonephritis care to be available to all 27 Regional Renal Programs. This model of care was designed to fill existing gaps and ensure individuals with glomerulonephritis access to standardized, timely, and high-quality treatment close to home. This report describes the characteristics of individuals who received this care since it was established. Sources of Information: Provincial administrative health care databases. Methods: This is a descriptive study of the characteristics of adults with a registered glomerulonephritis visit provided by a multidisciplinary care team in Ontario, Canada between April 1, 2019, and March 31, 2023. Individuals were excluded if they had evidence of a kidney transplant prior to their first registered visit. Key Findings: A total of 6,926 individuals were included in the cohort. Every year since 2019, approximately 1,200 new individuals had a registered multidisciplinary visit. IgA nephropathy was the most common reported diagnosis at the first registered visit (1,407 of 6,926 [20.5%]). Over a median follow-up period of 2.7 years (interquartile range = 1.3-3.7) since their first registered visit, 420 individuals (6%) received kidney replacement therapy (maintenance dialysis or kidney transplant). Limitations: This description of individuals with registered visits underestimates the true prevalence of adults with glomerulonephritis in Ontario, as it does not capture those who did not register or who received more advanced disease management in other settings. Implications: The use of a new model of multidisciplinary glomerulonephritis care in Ontario, Canada is becoming well established. Ongoing analysis of administrative data will guide future healthcare planning and delivery.
