An updated systematic review of the risk factors for unplanned dialysis initiation.
Review in Clinical kidney journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Previously, a comprehensive review of the risk factors for unplanned dialysis initiation (UDI) was conducted by Hassan Methods: MEDLINE and Embase were searched from January 2018 to August 2023. Following several rounds of screening, we identified 17 international studies (the majority of which were based in Europe) that met the eligibility criteria. Results: Many of the included studies were well designed, utilised large datasets and adopted properly adjusted analyses to examine associations between patient characteristics and UDI. Definitions of UDI varied across studies, i.e. timeliness of presentation, vascular access type, initiating dialysis as an inpatient/outpatient or for life-threatening indications. The most common risk factors reported were cardiovascular disease, older age, lower body mass index, cause of kidney disease, cancer, diabetes, lower serum albumin, faster decline in kidney function and fewer number of nephrology visits prior to dialysis start. These were in line with those reported by Hassan Conclusions: Our review provides new insights into reasons why people start dialysis in an unplanned manner, many of which are modifiable, thus contributing to efforts in reducing the rate of UDI.
