Health insurance provider and endovascular treatment availability are associated with different hemodialysis vascular access profiles: A Brazilian national survey.

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
In Brazil, most hemodialysis (HD) patients are treated by the country's public health system. However, accessibility to healthcare is different for public and private patients. This study aimed to identify the profile of vascular access in a Brazilian HD sample. Additionally, it aimed to examine the influence of public and private health insurance, accessibility to endovascular treatments, and timely arteriovenous access creation on the prevalence of tunneled catheters (TCs), non-tunneled catheters (NTCs), and arteriovenous (AV) access. We conducted a cross-sectional electronic survey across 834 centers. Centers were inquired about the number of patients with public and private health insurance, the profiles of vascular access, time for AV access creation, accessibility to TC insertion and endovascular treatments, and the availability of peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation. Logistic regression and multilevel logistic regression were performed to evaluate possible interactions between the independent variables. A total of 7,973 patients across 47 HD centers were included in the survey. Public health patients accounted for 77% of the study sample. The overall vascular access profiles of the public and private insurance groups were significantly different (
