Is transition between peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis really a gradual process?
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 18 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
backgroundTransfer to hemodialysis (HD) is a frequent cause of peritoneal dialysis (PD) cessation. In the present study, we set out to describe the transition period between PD and HD.
methodsAll patients in 4 centers of Basse-Normandie who had been treated with PD for more than 90 days and who were permanently transferred to HD between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. The rate of unplanned HD start was evaluated.
resultsIn the 60 patients (39 men, 21 women) included in the study, median score on the Charlson comorbidity index at PD initiation was 5 [interquartile range (IQR): 3 - 7], median age at HD initiation was 62 years (IQR: 54 - 76 years), and median duration on PD was 22 months (IQR: 12 - 36 months). Among the 60 patients, 37 had an unplanned HD initiation. Peritonitis was the most frequent cause of unplanned HD start (n = 20), and dialysis inadequacy (n = 11), the main cause of planned HD start. During the transition period, all patients were hospitalized. Median duration of hospitalization was 4.5 days (IQR: 0 - 25.5 days). Within 2 months after HD initiation, 9 patients died. Two months after starting HD, 6 of the remaining 51 patients were being treated in a self-care HD unit and only 23 patients had a mature fistula.
conclusionsUnplanned HD start is a common problem in patients transferred from PD. Further studies are needed to improve the rate of planned HD start in PD patients transferred to HD.
