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

backgroundAlzheimer disease (AD) and depressive disorder (DD) are prevalent among elderly end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients. However, whether preexisting mental health disorders increase the risk of ESKD is not well understood. The risk of incident ESKD in patients with or without underlying AD or DD was evaluated in a nationwide cohort of elderly people in Republic of Korea.

methodsThis study used data from the National Health Insurance Service-Senior cohort in Republic of Korea. Among the 558,147 total subjects, 49,634 and 54,231 were diagnosed with AD (AD group) or DD (DD group), respectively, during the follow-up period. Propensity score matching was conducted to create non-AD and non-DD groups of subjects. AD and DD diagnoses were analyzed as time-varying exposures, and the study outcome was development of ESKD.

resultsThe incidence rates of ESKD were 0.36 and 1.17 per 1,000 person-years in the non-AD and AD groups, respectively. After adjustment for clinical variables and competing risks of death, the risk of incident ESKD was higher in the AD group than in the nonAD group (hazard ratio [HR], 1.67; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.34-2.08). The incidence rates of ESKD in the non-DD and DD groups were 0.36 and 0.91 per 1,000 person-years, respectively. The risk of ESKD development was also higher in the DD group than the non-DD group (HR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.19-1.76).

conclusionThe risk of ESKD development was higher in subjects diagnosed with AD or DD, suggesting that central nervous system diseases can adversely affect kidney function in elderly people.
