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

This study describes a multicentre randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of a ketogenic diet with a low-energy standard diet containing 0.8 g/kg/day on weight loss and metabolic alterations in adult patients with mild-to-moderate non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mild-to-severe obesity. The study is being conducted to understand the impact of the ketogenic diet on weight loss in these patients, as the existing evidence on the ketogenic diet's effect in CKD patients is limited and inconclusive. The study will enrol mild-to moderate adult CKD patients (Stages G1-3a) with albumin to creatinine ratio ≥200 mg/g, without diabetes, with obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg/m
