Review in Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectives, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

objectiveThe objective of this paper was to propose an algorithm for approaching hypertensive hemodialysis patients admitted to the hospital for hypertensive urgency.

methodsA literature search was conducted using PubMed (Medline). Articles selected were limited to humans and the English language.

resultsWE IDENTIFIED EIGHT MANAGEMENT MODALITIES INCLUDING: short-daily and nocturnal dialysis, sodium restriction, sodium profiling, antihypertensive medications, sympathetic denervation, bilateral nephrectomy, and bioimpedance spectroscopy. The benefits and drawbacks of each were investigated and discussed before implementation into the algorithm. DISCUSSION: The algorithm presented suggests a linear approach to patient care, but treatment modalities may not be mutually exclusive, and additional factors, such as patient compliance and individual health status, should be taken into account to provide patients with optimum care.
