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

background and hypothesisArteriovenous fistula (AVF) is regarded as the most effective vascular access for hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).However, research investigating the relationships between the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), the triglyceride-glucose index combined with body mass index (TyG-BMI), and the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (HRR) with AVF maturation is still limited.

methodsWe included all ESRD patients undergoing first-time AVF creation between March and August 2024 at Haidian Hospital, Beijing (n = 249). To evaluate predictors of AVF maturation failure, we analyzed preoperative clinical/laboratory data and follow-up ultrasound assessments using restricted cubic spline models for dose-response relationships (SIRI, TyG-BMI, HRR). Multivariable Cox models identified independent risk factors, and a predictive nomogram was developed and validated through C-index and calibration plots.

resultsThis study included 249 patients (73.5% AVF maturation rate). Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed linear associations between AVF maturation and SIRI (p-overall = 0.047), TyG-BMI (p-overall = 0.039), and HRR (p-overall = 0.026). Multivariable Cox regression identified three independent predictors: SIRI (HR = 1.69, 95%CI:1.45-1.96), TyG-BMI (HR = 2.68, 95%CI:1.62-4.41), and HRR (HR = 1.44, 95%CI:1.28-1.61) (all p < 0.001). The biomarker-based nomogram showed strong predictive accuracy, with calibration curves demonstrating excellent observed-versus-expected agreement.

conclusionNon-maturation of AVF was independently associated with three inflammation-based biomarkers, namely SIRI, TyG-BMI, and HRR. High predictive accuracy was demonstrated by the nomogram incorporating these markers, supporting its use for the early identification of high-risk patients.
