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

backgroundDyspepsia is common among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients and its association with delayed gastric emptying is not well established. We assessed the association of dyspepsia with gastric emptying time in ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD).

methodsDyspepsia was assessed through the Porto Alegre Dyspeptic Symptoms Questionnaire (PADYQ). PADYQ's scores ≥ 6 classified participants as dyspeptic. The octanoic acid breath test using ¹³carbon was employed to assess the gastric emptying time. Based on the test, time in minutes to metabolize the first half of the ¹³carbon in the test meal (t1/2) was calculated. Association of dyspepsia with gastric emptying time was tested by the correlation between PADYQ scores and t1/2, and also by comparing t1/2 between dyspeptics and non-dyspeptics.

resultsThere were 34 (68.0%) dyspeptic patients. Dyspepsia score was positively correlated with t1/2 (r = 0.366; p = 0.009). Dyspeptics had longer t1/2 compared to non-dyspeptics, respectively, 238.0 ± 92.9 versus 185.5 ± 45.5 minutes (p = 0.042).

conclusionsDelayed gastric emptying was associated with dyspepsia. Prokinetic medications could have a role in preventing or relieving dyspeptic symptoms among HD patients. Future research in larger samples is necessary to confirm this association.
