Epidemiology of peritoneal dialysis: a story of believers and nonbelievers.
Review in Nature reviews. Nephrology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04238338 (Association of Monocyte / Lymphocyte Ratio With Risk of Death and Cardiovascular Events in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 50 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.

Abstract
In 2008, an estimated 1.77 million patients worldwide received dialysis. Of these patients, 1.58 million were treated with hemodialysis and approximately 190,000 received peritoneal dialyisis. In a global comparison of treatment methods for renal failure, therefore, hemodialysis clearly dominates. In this Review, we compare the epidemiology of peritoneal dialysis with that of hemodialysis and describe some of the major differences in the global utilization of the two dialysis modalities. These differences can largely be explained by a number of nonmedical, mainly economic factors, but also by educational and psychological factors. To reverse the current trends, the implementation of suitable reimbursement strategies for peritoneal dialysis is needed as well as increased investment in the training of young nephrology fellows and in education programs for patients and other non-nephrological health-care providers. To achieve these goals, academic and nonacademic training centers, which often consider peritoneal dialysis to be a low-level priority, must invest in research and training related to peritoneal dialysis.
