Association of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Slopes with Cardiorenal Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease before and after Multidisciplinary Education.

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
introductionMultidisciplinary education has been shown to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and reduce cardiovascular (CV) risk, although its effects depend partly on patient characteristics. The aim of this study was to assess how patients categorized on the basis of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) responded to multidisciplinary education in terms of cardiorenal outcomes.
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, we included 447 CKD patients who received multidisciplinary education between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2020, at Nara Prefecture General Medical Center. Exposure was four categories according to eGFR slopes before and after multidisciplinary education. The primary outcomes were renal events defined as the composite of dialysis initiation, transplantation, and 30% eGFR decline, and CV events defined as the composite of heart failure requiring hospitalization, coronary or leg revascularization, cardiac sudden death, and stroke.
resultsMultidisciplinary education decreased the median eGFR slope from -5.00 to -0.65 mL/min/1.73 m2/year. In fully adjusted models, the hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for total renal events relative to slow-slow eGFR decline were 1.02 (0.50-2.06) for fast-slow decline, 5.30 (2.82-9.97) for slow-fast decline, and 7.53 (4.02-14.1) for fast-fast decline. Only fast-fast eGFR decline was associated with a high risk of CV events. Subgroup analyses showed similar trends. Fast decline after education was independently associated with increased proteinuria and decreased hemoglobin levels.
conclusionsFast eGFR decline after but not before multidisciplinary education was significantly associated with renal and CV events in CKD patients. Attention should be paid to CKD patients with limited benefit from multidisciplinary education.
