Nerve conduction changes following arteriovenous fistula construction in hemodialysis patients.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2011. 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
backgroundPeripheral neuropathy is a common complication of chronic renal failure (CRF). Superimposed neuropathies may complicate arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) construction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of AVF construction on nerve conduction. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty-six patients were included in this prospective case-control study. All patients underwent clinical and electrophysiologic evaluations 1 week before and 3 months after AVF placement. A side-to-side fistula was set up for all patients, and the radial, ulnar, and median nerves were studied. Patient's non-fistula hand served as a control.
resultsNo significant changes were observed on neurological examination of the upper limbs following AVF construction. In the case of motor nerves, the AVF hand had decreased amplitude of distal and proximal segments of the radial nerve (P = 0.025 and P = 0.042), proximal segment of the median nerve (P = 0.025), and increased distal latency of the ulnar nerve (P = 0.027). No significant changes were observed for sensory parameters.
conclusionsThis study showed that all three nerves of the upper extremity can be affected by hemodialysis vascular access construction in patients with CRF, and the motor radial nerve was the most affected nerve.
