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

Introduction: Jamaica has a high attributable burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) but no population-based prevalence estimates. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of CKD and explore associated factors. Methods: A secondary analysis of data from Jamaican residents aged ≥ 15 years from the nationally representative Jamaica Health and Lifestyle Survey-III was performed. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m Results: Analyses included 583 individuals, 366 females, mean ± SD age was 49.0 ± 18.2 years. CKD prevalence was 14.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 11.5%-18.9%). Seven percent (7.2% (95% CI: 5.1%-10.1%) had CKD stage 3 or higher and 8.8% (95% CI: 6.3%-12.0%) had albuminuria. Individuals with CKD were older (mean age: 57 vs. 46.3 years, Conclusion: CKD prevalence was estimated at 15%. This may translate to increased burden on the Jamaican health system.
