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

Functional deterioration of the peritoneal membrane in patients on peritoneal dialysis has been described as being the result of a combination of neoangiogenesis and fibrosis. Glucose, glucose degradation products, and the unphysiological pH of the dialysate solution contribute to these changes. Although newer solutions clearly perform better in terms of their biocompatibility in an in vitro setting and in animal models, the benefit of such solutions over older solutions in the clinical setting is so far unproven. The difficulties in showing a benefit of the newer, more biocompatible solutions in the clinical setting can be explained by the fact that other factors also affect the properties of the peritoneal membrane. These factors are often neglected in clinical studies, which results in unnoticed differences in case-mix and blurs the potential impact of the novel solutions. However, many of these factors are modifiable, and attention should be paid to them in clinical practice to maintain the integrity of the peritoneal membrane. This Review focuses on factors that potentially influence the integrity of the peritoneal membrane, other than those associated with the peritoneal dialysis fluid itself.
