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

objectivesLong-term follow-up data are few in children with ESRD. We sought to describe long-term survival, assess risk factors for death, and compare survival between two time periods in pediatric ESRD patients. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: We used a population-based retrospective cohort utilizing data from a national organ failure registry and from Canada's universal healthcare system. We included 843 children (ages, 0 to 18) initiating renal replacement therapy from 1992 to 2007 and followed them until death or date of last contact (median follow-up, 6.8 years; interquartile range, 3.0 to 10.6). We assessed risk factors for death and examined cause-specific mortality.

resultsDuring 5991 patient-years of follow-up, 107 (12.7%) patients died. Unadjusted cumulative survival for the cohort was: 91.7% (95% CI, 89.8 to 93.7%) at 5 years and 85.8% (95% CI, 82.8 to 88.8%) at 10 years. Among patients commencing dialysis, overall adjusted survival was poorest among those who started dialysis at age <1 year. No secular trends in survival were noted for either dialysis or transplant patients. The proportion of incident patients receiving pre-emptive transplantation increased over time. Pre-emptively transplanted patients did not demonstrate superior adjusted survival compared with those who spent >2 years on dialysis before transplant (hazard ratio, 1.53; 95% CI, 0.63 to 3.67).

conclusionsNo significant improvements in survival were observed among ESRD patients over the study period. Time with transplant function had the strongest association with survival. Pre-emptive transplantation was not associated with improved survival in adjusted models.
