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

introductionIt is unclear whether patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and nephrotic syndrome (NS) can be treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD).

objectivesTo investigate the outcomes of PD treatment in ESRD patients with or without NS.

methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, all incident patients with ESRD and NS who started PD from 1 February 2006 to 31 December 2017, were matched with patients without NS using propensity scores based on age, sex, diabetes mellitus status, and serum albumin.

resultsFifty-three patients in the NS PD group and 53 matched controls were included. The median survival of the NS PD group was comparable to that of the non-NS PD group. An interaction effect was observed between survival time and baseline NS status. Thus, patients' outcomes within and after 1.5 years were analyzed separately. Both mortality (log-rank test,

conclusionsOur study indicates that PD may be considered as a long-term renal replacement therapy for patients with ESRD and baseline NS.
