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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to explore the effect of changing treatment to high-flux hemodialysis (HFHD) on mortality rate in patients with long-term low flux hemodialysis (LFHD).

methodsThe patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who underwent LFHD with dialysis age more than 36 months and stable condition in our hospital before December 31, 2014 were included in this study. They were divided into control group and observation group. Propensity score matched method was used to select patients in the control group. The hemodialysis was performed 3 times a week for 4 h. The deadline for follow-up is December 31, 2018. End-point event is all-cause death. The survival rates of the two groups were compared and multivariate Cox regression analysis was carried out.

resultsK-M survival analysis showed that the 1-year, 2-year, 3-year and 4-year survival rates of HFHD group were 98, 96, 96 and 96%, respectively. The 1-year, 2-year, 3-year and 4-year survival rates of LFHD group were 95, 85, 80 and 78%, respectively. Log-rank test showed that the survival rate of HFHD group was significantly higher than that of LFHD group (x

conclusionThe prognosis of patients with ESRD who performed long-term LFHD can be significantly improved after changing to HFHD.
