Elderly patients with CKD--dilemmas in dialysis therapy and vascular access.
Review in Nature reviews. Nephrology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07649083 (Comparison of Tunneled Cuffed Dialysis Catheters Versus Arteriovenous Fistulae in Elderly or Multimorbid Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 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.

Abstract
The population of elderly patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is growing rapidly worldwide. The high prevalence of comorbidities, limited life expectancy and complex quality of life issues associated with this population pose substantial challenges for clinicians in terms of clinical decision-making and providing optimal care. The first dilemma encountered in the management of an elderly patient with ESRD is deciding whether to initiate renal replacement therapy and, if so, selecting the most-suitable dialysis modality. Planning vascular access for haemodialysis is associated with additional challenges. Several clinical practice guidelines recommend an arteriovenous fistula, rather than a central venous catheter or arteriovenous graft, as the preferred access for maintenance haemodialysis therapy. However, whether this recommendation is applicable to elderly patients with ESRD and a limited life expectancy is unclear. Selection and planning of the most appropriate vascular access for an elderly patient with ESRD requires careful consideration of several factors and ultimately should lead to an improvement in the patient's quality of life.
