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

A dietary protein intake (DPI) of between 0.6 and 0.8 g protein per kilogram body weight per day (g/kg/day) is frequently recommended for adults with moderate-to-advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, evidence on whether patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) actually benefit from a DPI of ≤ 0.8 g/kg/day and from a low-protein diet (LPD) at CKD stages 1-3 has not been consistent. We systematically searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Knowledge, as well as the bibliographies of articles identified in the search, for eligible randomized controlled trials that had investigated the effects of LPD (prescribed DPI < 0.8 g/kg/day) versus control diet on the progression of DKD. Nine trials that included 506 participants and follow-up periods varying from 4.5 to 60 months were included in the subsequent systematic review and meta-analysis. The data showed that patients with DKD who consumed < 0.8 g protein/kg/day had a significantly reduced decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (mean difference [MD] 22.31 mL/min/1.73 m
