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

purposeTo investigate the effect of no water removal (NWR) on preservation of residual renal function (RRF) in new hemodialysis (HD) patients.

methodsFifty-six patients with a daily urine volume ≥ 1,000 mL were included. Patients were randomized to different fluid management groups of NWR or water removal (WR) for 6 months. If predialysis BP was >150/90 mmHg, patients could take antihypertensive drugs. The primary endpoints included death, cardio-cerebral vascular disease, refractory hypertension, and edema or an auxiliary examination indicating obvious fluid retention. The secondary endpoint was oliguria. A daily urine volume, 24-h urine creatinine clearance, the defined daily dose (DDD) index of antihypertensive drugs, erythropoietin resistance index, cardiothoracic ratio, and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were recorded.

resultsEight patients in the NWR group reached the primary endpoints. Nine patients in the WR group reached the secondary endpoint. At the end of the study, patients in the NWR group had more increased systemic blood pressure (9.0 ± 8.3 vs. -2.4 ± 2.0 mmHg, p < 0.001), DDD index (1.2 ± 1.02 vs. -0.9 ± 0.51, p < 0.001), daily urine volume (164 ± 351 vs. -726 ± 342 mL, p < 0.001), cardiothoracic ratio (0.02 ± 0.04 vs. -0.03 ± 0.03, p < 0.001), LVMI (9.6 ± 17.0 vs. -12.0 ± 21.4 g/m(2), p < 0.001), and less decreased urine creatinine clearance (-1.0 ± 0.4 vs. -2.0 ± 1.0, p < 0.001), compared with those patients in the WR group.

conclusionsPreservation of RRF by NWR is warranted in new HD patients, but is not appropriate for all patients.
