Peritoneal dialysis in children with acute kidney injury: a developing country experience.
Article in Peritoneal dialysis international : journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
backgroundPeritoneal dialysis (PD) is the preferred and convenient treatment modality for acute kidney injury (AKI) in children and hemodynamically unstable patients.
methodsThe outcome of acute PD was studied in 57 children (39 boys) with AKI, aged 1 month to 12 years, at a tertiary care center of a teaching hospital in India.
resultsHemolytic uremic syndrome (36.8%) was the most common cause of AKI, followed by septicemia (24.6%) and acute tubular necrosis (19.3%). Treatment with PD was highly effective in lowering retention markers (p < 0.001). Overall mortality was 36.8%. The risk of mortality by multi-variate analysis was higher when patients were anuric [odds ratio (OR): 8.2; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.3 to 49; p < 0.05], had septicemia (OR: 3.79; 95% CI: 1.55 to 25.8; p < 0.05), or severe infectious complications (OR: 8.2; 95% CI: 1.5 to 42.9; p < 001).
conclusionsBecause of its simplicity and feasibility, acute PD is still an appropriate treatment choice for children with AKI in resource-poor settings. Septicemia and severity of AKI are contributory factors to high mortality in pediatric acute kidney injury.
