Electrocardiographic P-wave characteristics in patients with end-stage renal disease: P-index and interatrial block.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeP-wave parameters including P-wave dispersion (P d) have been examined in general population to predict development of atrial fibrillation (AF). But data on end-stage renal disease (ESRD) population are limited. P index (Pi) and interatrial block (IAB) as novel parameters may more accurately predict AF and have not been previously investigated in ESRD patients. We aimed to evaluate these novel ECG parameters in ESRD patients.
methodsEighty-six HD, 47 CAPD, and 43 age- and gender-matched control subjects were enrolled in the study. P-wave duration was measured in all 12-leads of the surface ECG. The standard deviation of the P-wave duration across the 12 ECG leads was accepted as a Pi. P-wave duration above and equal to 110 ms was defined as IAB. All P-wave parameters were evaluated digitally by two observers.
resultsPi was found to be significantly different among the groups in ANOVA. In post hoc analysis, P i was increased in HD group compared with the control group (p = 0.01). Also, P i tended to increase in CAPD group compared with controls (p = 0.06). The effect of ESRD on P i was independent of age, gender, and systolic blood pressure in univariate covariant analysis. The prevalence of IAB was 61, 55, and 32 % in patients with HD, CAPD, and controls, respectively (p = 0.001). P d was significantly higher in HD group compared with healthy controls. However, Pd values of CAPD patients did not show significant difference compared with controls.
conclusionThe present study demonstrated that IAB frequency and Pi were increased in patients with ESRD.
