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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesImproving the quality of CKD care has important public health implications to delay disease progression and prevent ESKD. National trends of the quality of CKD care are not well established. Furthermore, it is unknown whether gaps in quality of care are due to lack of physician awareness of CKD status of patients or other factors. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: We performed a national, serial, cross-sectional study of visits to office-based ambulatory care practices for adults with diagnosed CKD from the years 2006 to 2014. We assessed the following quality indicators: (

resultsBetween 2006 and 2014, there were 7099 unweighted visits for patients with CKD representing 186,961,565 weighted visits. There was no difference in the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension (>130/80 mm Hg) over time (46% in 2006-2008 versus 48% in 2012-2014;

conclusionsIn a nationally representative dataset, we found that patients with CKD had a high prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes and a low use of statins that did not improve over time and was not concordant with guidelines.
