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

purposeSeveral studies investigated the association between the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the concentration of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in patients without severely damaged kidney function. As results of those studies were inconclusive and contradictory, we wanted to investigate this association in multiple cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk patients without severe kidney disease or renal failure.

methodsWe enrolled a cohort of 187 patients with intermediate and high CVD risk without severe renal disease. We grouped them based on their eGFR into: group 1 (≥ 30 < 60 ml/min/1.73 m

resultsPatients with the lowest eGFR had the lowest HDL values (P = 0.013). In multiple linear regression, HDL was an independent predictor of eGFR (β = 0.189, P = 0.025) which was also shown in multinomial regression for all three models: model 1 [odds ratio (OR) 0.05; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.007-0.331; P = 0.002], model 2 (OR 0.052; 95% CI 0.006-0.428; P = 0.006) and model 3 (OR 0.2; 95% CI 0.001-0.309; P = 0.005).

conclusionsLow HDL is an independent predictor of lower eGFR in intermediate and high CVD risk patients without severe kidney disease. In such patients, low HDL could be one of the early indicators of renal failure.
