Incidence, Demographics, and Service Utilization of Patients Referred for Renal Replacement Therapy at the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) Michoacán: A Retrospective Analysis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a health condition with high tangible and intangible implications for patients, health systems, and society in Mexico. This study aims to analyze the incidence, demographics, and service utilization of patients referred for renal replacement therapy (RRT) involving peritoneal dialysis (PD) or hemodialysis (HD) in Care units of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) in the state of Michoacán, Mexico.
methodsA database from IMSS Michoacán containing information from January 2007 to September 2023 was analyzed. Special analyses were performed by subdelegations of adscription of the patients and according to a "region of interest" comprising three municipalities in eastern Michoacán (Zinapecuaro, Hidalgo, and Maravatío). This analysis included incidence rates of patient referrals, mean age at dialysis initiation, and percentages of service provision. Results: An increasing trend in the incidence of cases referred for RRT was identified. In 2021, the state incidence rate of new cases referred for RRT was 28.42 cases per 100,000 population. However, this rate was markedly higher in the subdelegation of Zitácuaro and the region of interest. The analysis of patients' demographic characteristics showed that the majority were male (n=1494; 60.6%), with a global mean age at dialysis initiation of 50.3 (±17.00 SD) years. However, patients from the subdelegation of Zitácuaro and the region of interest were identified to be significantly younger than those from other municipalities. The analysis of RRT service provision showed a trend over time towards a higher proportion of HD services, with some inequalities in access to HD services.
conclusionsThere is an increasing trend in RRT referrals at IMSS Michoacán. A more significant issue in the incidence of RRT referrals and the mean age at dialysis initiation was identified for a particular subdelegation of adscription and region of interest of the IMSS Michoacán. Moreover, the need to strengthen HD service infrastructure is identified to improve accessibility for insured patients living in various municipalities in Michoacán, Mexico.
