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/

objectivesChildren on dialysis have a 10-fold increase in cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality when compared to the general population. The development of CVD in dialysis patients is attributed to Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) and dyslipidemia. While the prevalence of dyslipidemia in adult dialysis patients has been described, there are limited data on prevalence, severity, and risk factors for pediatric dyslipidemia.

methodsData from 1730 pediatric patients ≤ 21 years receiving maintenance hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis with at least one lipid panel measurement were obtained from USRDS between 2001 and 2016. Disease etiology was classified as being glomerular (

resultsThe cohort had a mean age of 15.2 years and were 54.5% female. Adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, modality, time with End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD), and body mass index (BMI) and using non-glomerular etiology as the reference, glomerular disease [mean (95% CI)] was associated with +19% (+14.7%, +23.8%) higher total cholesterol level (183 mg/dL vs. 162 mg/dL), +21% (+14.8%, +26.6%) higher low density lipoprotein cholesterol level (108 mg/dL vs. 87 mg/dL), and +22.3% (+15.5%, +29.5%) higher triglyceride level (169 mg/dL vs. 147 mg/dL). Glomerular disease [OR (95% CI)] was associated with 3.0-fold [2.4, 3.9] higher odds of having an abnormal total cholesterol level, 3.8-fold [2.8, 5.0] higher odds of having an abnormal LDL-C level, and 1.9-fold [1.5, 2.4] higher odds of having an abnormal triglyceride level when compared to non-glomerular disease.

conclusionsPediatric dialysis patients have a high prevalence of dyslipidemia, particularly from elevated triglyceride levels. Specifically, patients with glomerular disease have an even higher risk of dyslipidemia from elevated non-HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels than patients with non-glomerular disease. The long-term impact of this unfavorable lipid profile requires further investigation.
