Revascularization vs. Conservative Medical Treatment in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and Coronary Artery Disease: A Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundAs a strong risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), chronic kidney disease (CKD) indicates higher mortality in patients with CAD. However, the optimal treatment for the patients with two coexisting diseases is still not well defined.
methodsTo conduct a meta-analysis, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane database were searched for studies comparing medical treatment (MT) and revascularization [percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)] in adults with CAD and CKD. Long-term all-cause mortality was evaluated, and subgroup analyses were performed.
resultsA total of 13 trials met our selection criteria. Long-term (with at least a 1-year follow-up) mortality was significantly lower in the revascularization arm [relative risk (RR) = 0.66; 95% CI = 0.60-0.72] by either PCI (RR = 0.61; 95% CI = 0.55-0.68) or CABG (RR = 0.62; 95% CI = 0.46-0.84). The results were consistent in dialysis patients (RR = 0.68; 95% CI = 0.59-0.79), patients with stable CAD (RR = 0.75; 95% CI = 0.61-0.92), patients with acute coronary syndrome (RR = 0.62; 95% CI = 0.58-0.66), and geriatric patients (RR = 0.57; 95% CI = 0.54-0.61).
conclusionIn patients with CKD and CAD, revascularization is more effective in reducing mortality than MT alone. This observed benefit is consistent in patients with stable CAD and elderly patients. However, future randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are required to confirm these findings.
