Prevalence of chronic kidney disease in the pediatric population: a panel study based on a Colombian national registry.
Observational study in Colombia medica (Cali, Colombia). 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
Objective: To characterize the epidemiological profile of chronic kidney disease among the pediatric population in Colombia. Methods: An observational study using panel data from the "Cuenta de Alto Costo" registry was conducted. Patients under 18 years of age with a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease reported between July 2019 and June 2020 were included. Prevalence was calculated and stratified by age, sex, and region. Etiologies were also described. Results: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease among patients under 18 years was 153.1 cases per million population (pmp), with an upward trend from 2019 to 2023, increasing from 100 to 367.1 pmp. The most frequent etiology was unknown (75.8%), followed by congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (10.7%) and glomerulonephritis (5.3%). Conclusion: In Colombia, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in the pediatric population is higher than that reported globally. However, the high proportion of cases with unknown etiology is notable; among identified etiologies, congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract and glomerulopathies were the most frequent. These findings highlight the need to improve epidemiological records and establish diagnostic guidelines to determine the etiology of chronic kidney disease.
