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

aimThe accumulation of uremic toxins, such as asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), has emerged as one of the major cardiovascular disease-related risk factors in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Based on the low molecular weight of ADMA, hemodialysis (HD) should theoretically effectively remove ADMA. In this study, we investigated the clearance behavior of ADMA during high-flux HD.

methodsEight HD patients without residual renal function were included. Blood samples were collected at 0, 30, 60, 120 and 240 min after dialysis started, as well as 1 h and 48 h after dialysis. ADMA level was detected by HPLC-MS/MS. Herein, the ADMA level in blood cells and the ADMA protein binding rate were measured. Accordingly, the dialyzer extraction ratio was also determined.

resultsThe reduction ratio (RR) of ADMA (corrected for hemoconcentration) was significantly lower, at only 37.21 ± 6.44%, than that of urea and creatinine (

conclusionThis study suggests that ADMA may present a multicompartmental distribution that cannot be representatively reflected by the urea kinetics model.
