The effect of hemodialysis on electrocardiographic parameters.
Article in Annals of noninvasive electrocardiology : the official journal of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Inc, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundCardiovascular complications are the leading causes of premature deaths in hemodialysis patients. Due to rapid changes in volume and electrolyte concentration following dialysis, the some electrocardiographic (ECG) changes or arrhythmias might be seen.
objectiveTo investigate the acute effects of hemodialysis on the ECG parameters in patients with chronic end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
methodWe included the consecutive ESRD patients who underwent a hemodialysis. Before and after hemodialysis, some 12 lead ECG parameters were analyzed by two different cardiologists by using electronic digital caliper device.
resultsA total of 62 patients (mean 52 ± 15 years; 65% male) with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis were recruited to the study. P-wave amplitude, QRS amplitude, QRS duration, QTc dispersion, the sum of amplitudes in V1S + V5R derivations, total QRS amplitude, and duration were significantly greater in posthemodialysis patients compared to the prehemodialysis ones. However, T-wave amplitude and QTc duration were significantly lower in posthemodialysis patients.
conclusionThe ECG changes including prolangated QRS and increased QTc interval after hemodialysis should be kept in mind and assessed carefully in ESRD patients. Prolongation of these parameters may prove to be a further noninvasive marker of susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias.
