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

During the past years new developments in peritoneal dialysis (PD) technique have resulted in continuous improvement of patient outcome. The importance of salt and fluid balance, residual renal function and peritoneal glucose load are of increasing interest, whereas small solute clearances have lost importance. In patients with high peritoneal transport rates automated PD (APD) is indicated. However, APD can also be chosen as initial PD treatment since recent studies show comparable or even better survival as compared to continuous ambulatory PD patients. Alternative PD solutions improve peritoneal ultrafiltration (icodextrin), reduce peritoneal glucose load (amino acid solution, icodextrin) and protect the peritoneal membrane (solutions with low concentration of glucose degradation products). Infection risk can be reduced when using antibiotic creams, but resistances should be considered. Ongoing studies will clarify if non-antibiotic agents, e.g. medihoney, are effective in preventing PD-associated infections. Due to these improvements PD and hemodialysis have become equivalent treatments.
