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
introductionGiven the increased incidence of renal anemia and cognitive dysfunction in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the association between hemoglobin levels and cognitive function in these patients remains elucidated. An optimal level of hemoglobin for the best cognitive performance in CKD has yet to be determined.
methodsA retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using data from 2011-2014 of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Enrolled subjects for analysis were divided into the CKD and the non-CKD groups. The Animal Fluency Test (AF), Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Word Learning Test (CERAD-WL) and Word List Recall Test (CERAD-DR) were used to evaluate cognitive performances. We quantified the association between hemoglobin levels and cognitive function in patients with CKD and non-CKD subjects by using the logistic regression analysis. Plotted curves and inflection points were calculated by a recursive algorithm.
resultsThe ratio of cognitive impairment was higher in the CKD group than in the non-CKD group. Hemoglobin levels were correlated with CERAD-DR and DSST in patients with CKD. For non-CKD subjects, the hemoglobin level was not correlated with any test results. The potential range of the hemoglobin level was 11.0 - 12.7 mg/dL for keeping better cognitive performance of patients with CKD.
conclusionHemoglobin levels are associated with cognitive performance in patients with CKD. The treatment of renal anemia would be meaningful to reduce cognitive impairment in CKD.
