Multi-Center Health Informatics to Examine the Implementation of Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy in Chronic Kidney Disease.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) management was largely centered around renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) optimization, until recent emergence of novel therapeutics. However, slow adoption of guideline-directed therapy leaves patients vulnerable to disease progression. In 2022, a data-driven informatics approach was introduced to track real-time adherence to best practices.
methodsThis multi-center, ambidirectional cohort study analyzed data from a shared electronic health record system in a public healthcare cluster in Singapore, comprising 7 primary care institutions and 3 tertiary care hospitals. Patients aged ≥21 with CKD, managed between 1st March 2022 and 31st March 2024, were included. Prescription trends for RAASi, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), non-steroidal mineraloreceptor antagonists, and statins were examined, alongside albuminuria monitoring and comprehensive care uptake.
resultsAmong 34 217 patients, mean age was 72 ± 12 years; 57% received RAASi, 21% SGLT2i, and 66% statins. Among those meeting therapeutic indications, RAASi uptake remained stable at 74%, with 40% receiving ceiling doses. SGLT2i uptake doubled but remained below 40%, with lower adoption in non-diabetic and non-obese patients. Only 21% of albuminuric CKD G1-3b patients received optimal combination therapy with RAASi, SGLT2i, and statins despite only 4% hyperkalemia prevalence and 2% with systolic BP <110 mmHg. Among albuminuric CKD G3 patients with 5-year end-stage kidney disease risk ≥15%, 28% received optimal therapy. One-third lacked albuminuria monitoring and were less likely to receive comprehensive therapy.
conclusionsGaps persist in CKD care, particularly among non-diabetic, non-obese patients, and those without albuminuria monitoring. Health informatics-driven interventions can facilitate real-time process evaluation and adherence to best practices amid evolving treatment landscapes.
