Renal replacement therapy for stage 5 chronic kidney disease in the Cayman Islands.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
There has been no documentation on the epidemiology of end stage renal disease (ESRD) in the Cayman Islands. We retrospectively surveyed all facilities providing renal replacement therapy in the Cayman Islands in order to define the epidemiology of kidney failure in this setting. The prevalence of ESRD in this population was 0.975 persons per 1,000 population. There were 48 patients with kidney failure who received replacement therapy either by chronic hemodialysis (36) or kidney transplants (12). The method of access for maintenance hemodialysis was tunneled internal jugular catheter access (3), native arteriovenous fistulae (13) and prosthetic arteriovenous grafts (20). Currently, there is a low prevalence of maintenance hemodialysis by native fistulae (36.1%). A directed effort to increase the use of native fistulae is now necessary to meet the goals set by the National Kidney Foundation and Center for Medicaid Services. Otherwise, renal replacement therapy for patients with ESRD in the Cayman Islands exceeds the standards recommended by the National Kidney Foundation. In order to ensure continued delivery of modern quality care, further audits of the local practice will be required at regular intervals.
