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

Introduction: The current diagnostic threshold for chronic kidney disease (CKD; estimated glomerular filtration rate [GFR; eGFR] < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m Methods: This cohort study used data from the aspirin in reducing events in the elderly (ASPREE) trial and its observational follow-up (ASPREE-eXtension). ASPREE enrolled community-dwelling older adults. Separate survival analyses compared the risk of reduced disability-free survival (DFS), its components, or major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) between participants reclassified to a different CKD stage versus those who remained within the same stage when changing from CKD-EPI Results: Among 17,686 participants (mean age 75.1 ± 4.3 years), BIS1, and EKFC yielded eGFR values 12 to 15 ml/min per 1.73 m Conclusion: The use of older-age validated equations would substantially increase the prevalence of CKD but may not identify additional individuals at higher risk. These results suggest that current diagnostic thresholds may not be appropriate for older adults, particularly when applying older-age validated equations, and underscore the need to reconsider CKD definitions in the context of aging.
