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

objectivesTo determine, in a national cohort of incident hemodialysis patients, whether meeting a greater number of National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) guideline goals at dialysis initiation was independently associated, in a graded manner, with lower first-year mortality rates. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: Patients who initiated hemodialysis between June 1, 2005, and May 31, 2007, in the US were included in this retrospective cohort analysis. Guidelines examined were (1) use of arteriovenous fistula or graft at initiation; (2) hemoglobin > or = 11 g/dl; and (3) albumin at goal. The primary predictor variable was number of guideline goals (zero, one, two, or three) met at dialysis initiation. Cox regression analysis was used to compare time to death, adjusting for baseline characteristics.

resultsAt dialysis initiation, 59%, 31%, 9%, and 1.6% of patients met zero, one, two, or three guideline goals, respectively (total n = 192,307). After multivariate adjustment, mortality hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 0.81 (0.80 to 0.83) for patients who met one, 0.53 (0.51 to 0.56) for patients who met two, and 0.34 (0.30 to 0.39) for patients who met three guideline goals, compared with patients who met none. Meeting each individual goal was also associated with lower mortality.

conclusionsThese findings suggest a graded association between meeting a greater number of evidence-based guideline goals at dialysis initiation and lower risk of death during the first year on dialysis.
