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

backgroundDiabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a severe and prevalent complication of diabetes. Social contexts have been increasingly recognized as critical factors in the escalation and ongoing management of chronic diseases, including DKD. This study aimed to evaluate the connection between social risk profile (SRP) and DKD in United States. 

methodsData were sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2018). DKD was defined as the coexistence of diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). SRP scores, based on the number of positive measures, were categorized into four quartiles: low (0-2), lower-middle (3-4), upper-middle (5-6), and high (7-8). The associations of SRP with the prevalence and mortality of DKD were assessed. 

resultsA total of 6,464 participants were included in the study, among them, 2,668 had DKD, and 1,153 died during a mean follow-up of 143 months. SRP scores were associated with the prevalence and mortality of DKD. Compared with high SRP scores, low SRP levels were related with a higher risk of DKD (OR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.54 to 2.26, P < 0.0001). Higher SRP scores were associated with lower risks of mortality, including all-cause (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.81-0.88; P < 0.0001), cardiovascular disease (HR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.80-0.91; P < 0.0001), and diabetes-related mortality (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.76-0.96; P = 0.009). 

conclusionLower SRP scores showed a connection to higher DKD prevalence and worse outcomes, highlighting the potential importance of social risk screening and targeted interventions.
