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

Selecting peritoneal dialysis (PD) in older individuals is a complex, multi-step process. At each step, older individuals may not have the opportunity to receive PD unless care is optimized. Older individuals are less likely to complete a PD assessment, because of unstable medical conditions, consideration of palliative care, or reluctance to approach frail patients once they are established on hemodialysis (HD). Older individuals are also more likely to have medical or social conditions that contraindicate PD or to have barriers to self-care PD that may not be overcome with support. Older individuals who are eligible for PD may be reluctant to choose it, leaving HD as the default modality. Finally, receipt of PD may be compromised by urgent HD or PD catheter-related complications at the time of insertion. Despite all these challenges, older patients can do very well on PD, so each step should be well understood and optimized in renal programs to maximize PD use in older patients.
