Factors influencing catheter-related infections in peritoneal dialysis patients: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in PeerJ, 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
Objective: Systematic analysis of factors influencing catheter-related infections in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Methods: A computerized search of Chinese and English databases was conducted to identify the factors affecting catheter-related infections in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Studies with a search period from inception to July 31, 2024 were retrieved. Two researchers independently screened the literature using inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data extraction and quality assessments were performed. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.4 and Stata software. Results: In total, 13 studies were included and meta-analysis revealed that comorbid diabetes mellitus, insecure catheter fixation, dialysis duration >2 years, body mass index >20 kg/m Conclusions: Clinicians should pay close attention to these influencing factors and provide targeted preventive measures to prevent catheter-related infections.
