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

Kidney disease is a global health priority affecting >850 million people worldwide. This number is projected to increase over the coming decades given the increasing prevalence of diabetes, hypertension and obesity and the aging population. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can reduce both life expectancy and quality of life and is intricately linked with cardiac and metabolic health-the cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic multimorbidity syndrome. With early recognition of risk, CKD can be prevented and with timely case finding, early diagnosis and early intervention, its progression can be halted or slowed. The European Renal Association has established the Strong Kidneys Task Force, with the main purpose of creating awareness about the importance of kidney health for individual and population health. In collaboration with the European Kidney Health Alliance and the European Kidney Patients Federation, the ABCDE campaign will empower communities and individuals to remind their healthcare providers to assess their risk of kidney disease. ABCDE asks five simple questions about health status that only the healthcare system can provide: A) Do I have Albumin in my urine? B) What is my Blood pressure? C) What is my Cholesterol? D) Do I have Diabetes? E) What is my current kidney function (Estimated glomerular filtration rate)? This advocacy text aims to inform individuals, communities and front line healthcare workers that capturing the risk of kidney, cardiac and metabolic health is simple, makes sense, is logical and will save lives. Although making meaningful change will take time and involve major personal and societal changes, the first step really is as easy as ABCDE!
