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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects nearly 850 million individuals globally; the prevalence of undiagnosed CKD is 60%. Taking advantage of the relationship between CKD and cardiovascular disease, we developed a deep learning (DL) model to detect CKD from parasternal long-axis (PLAX) videos using 325,377 PLAX videos from 62,818 patients at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (CSMC). We externally validated our model in two independent cohorts of 2,224 patients at Stanford Healthcare (SHC) and 41,611 patients at Kaiser-Permanente Northern California (KPNC). In a held-out test cohort at CSMC, our model detected any stage of CKD with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.756 [95% confidence interval 0.749 - 0.763], with consistently strong performance in KPNC (AUC 0.718 [0.714 - 0.723]) and SHC (AUC 0.719 [0.704 - 0.735]). Our DL echo model detected CKD with robust performance at two external clinical sites, offering an avenue for noninvasive screening and improved detection rates.
