Accumulation of visceral fat in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundIn hemodialysis (HD) patients, obesity has been recognized as a serious risk factor for mortality and morbidity for cardiovascular diseases. In addition, abnormalities of lipid profiles exist in these patients.
methodsIn patients undergoing maintenance HD, incidences of abnormality of lipid profiles and visceral obesity determined by computed tomography scans were compared. In addition, the relationship between visceral fat area (VFA) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), an index of arterial stiffness, or carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), an index of atherosis, was examined.
resultsThe incidence of high VFA (27.0%) was significantly greater than that of high body mass index (BMI) (9.7%), high low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (4.8%), and high triglyceride (12.7%). In patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), waist circumference and VFA showed a significant positive relationship with baPWV. baPWV was significantly higher in patients with high VFA and DM than in patients with low VFA without DM, those with high VFA without DM, and those with low VFA and DM. Carotid IMT was significantly greater in patients with high VFA and DM than in those with low VFA without DM and those with low VFA and DM.
conclusionsThe incidence of high VFA was much greater than that of high BMI, high LDL-C, or high triglyceride. Visceral fat accumulation may be related to both arterial stiffness and atherosis in diabetic patients on maintenance HD.
