A PROSPECTIVE, OBSERVATIONAL STUDY ON ETIOLOGICAL SPECTRUM OF END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE IN NORTH INDIA: DOMINANCE OF DIABETIC KIDNEY DISEASE AND EMERGING TRENDS.
Article in Annals of Ibadan postgraduate medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) poses a formidable challenge to healthcare systems worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries like India. With the epidemiological transition favoring noncommunicable diseases, the burden of diabetes and hypertension as leading causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has grown substantially. This study aims to characterize the etiological spectrum of ESKD in a North Indian tertiary care center, with a special focus on the rising prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted between June 2023 and December 2024, enrolling 132 patients undergoing incident hemodialysis. Data on demographics, comorbidities, clinical symptoms, laboratory parameters, and underlying CKD etiologies were collected and analyzed. Results: DKD was identified as the most common cause of ESKD [n=50 (40.9%)], followed by hypertensive nephrosclerosis [n=19(14.4%)], chronic glomerulonephritis [n=13(9.8%)], and unknown etiology [n=19(14.4%)]. Other causes included hepatorenal syndrome-associated CKD [n=8(6.1%)], obstructive uropathy [n=7(5.3%)], polycystic kidney disease [n=6(4.6%)], and chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis [n=6(4.6%)]. Conclusion: DKD is the predominant cause of ESKD in this cohort from North India. Early diagnosis, risk factor management, and nephrology referral are crucial. Regional profiling of etiologies can improve health planning and resource allocation.
