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

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) persists as the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and often leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Worldwide, 30-50% of patients with diabetes are affected by DKD, while DKD contributes to about half of ESRD. Previously, DKD had been defined based on overt proteinuria-that is, a urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) above 300 mg/g-after a stage of microalbuminuria (UACR 30-300 mg/g). However, emerging data suggest that a significant number of patients develop renal functional decline without albuminuria, suggesting that DKD can occur in the absence of protein excretion. This phenotype of normoalbuminuric or non-proteinuric DKD (NA-DKD or NP-DKD) is emerging as an important clinical entity. It is characterized by a gradual decline in renal function, commonly with an annual reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 3 mL/min/1.73 m
