Coronary Artery Calcification Score as A Predictor of All-Cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Outcome in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients.

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
unlabelled♦
backgroundThis study aimed to examine whether the coronary artery calcification score (CaCS) was associated with the prognosis of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. ♦
methodsAdult PD patients who were clinically stable for at least 2 months were recruited for this prospective, observational cohort study. Coronary artery calcification was assessed using multislice spiral computed tomography and was recorded according to the Agatston score. The endpoints including all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, and cardiovascular mortality were assessed. Multivariate Cox regression was used to identify independent predictors of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events (CVEs), and cardiovascular mortality. ♦
resultsA total of 179 PD patients (86 men) with a mean age of 63.5 ± 14.8 years were recruited for this study. Coronary artery calcification scores ranging from 0 to 5,257 were stratified as follows: no (CaCS = 0, n = 54), low (0 < CaCS < 400, n = 72), and high (CaCS ≥ 400, n = 53) calcification. The follow-up duration was 30.6 ± 16.2 (24-63) months. Compared with the no calcification group, patients with a higher CaCS were older and had lower diastolic blood pressure, residual renal function, and serum albumin, and higher HbA1C and serum insulin. Multivariate Cox regression revealed that the CaCS was an independent predictor for all the 3 endpoints after adjustment in PD patients. ♦
conclusionsCaCS was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, and cardiovascular mortality in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis.
