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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is now considered a global health burden. In addition to the well-known clinical risk factors, social determinants of the disease such as poverty, low birthweight, and lack of access to health services play an important role, with the prevalence of disease modified by various socioeconomic factors, including migration. Herein, we explore the intersection of CKD and migration by examining how migrant populations can modify global prevalence and therapy of CKD global prevalence, including the challenges faced by migrant populations in accessing nephrology units. In addition, we provide suggestions for improving their care.
