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

objectiveHypoalbuminemia, fluid overload (FO), and oxidative stress (OS) may be related to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. OS produces molecular modifications of serum albumin that interfere with its quantification by the commonly used bromocresol green assay. This study evaluated the impact of oxidized serum albumin (OSA) on oncotic pressure (OP) and hydration status. PATIENTS AND

methodsTwenty-four stable hypoalbuminemic PD patients were enrolled in the study. After performing physical examination, assessment of the hydration status using a whole-body bioimpedance spectroscopy technique was performed, and blood samples were drawn for determination of OP, serum albumin levels, and OSA.

resultsExtracellular to total body water (E/TBW) ratio was higher in patients with FO ≥1.5 L with or without edema than in patients with FO <1.5 L (P≤0.043). E/TBW ratio was higher in patients with FO ≥1.5 L and edema compared to those with FO ≥1.5 L but without edema (P=0.004). OP was significantly higher in patients with FO ≥1.5 L and without edema compared to those with FO ≥1.5 L and with edema (P<0.001). Albumin-detection index (ADI) in patients with FO ≥1.5 L and without edema was similar to ADI in patients with FO <1.5 L (P=0.520). ADI was significantly lower in patients with FO ≥1.5 L and without edema compared to those with FO ≥1.5 L and edema (P=0.034). E/TBW ratio correlated positively with the ADI (r=0.60, P=0.001) and inversely with the OP (r=-0.54, P=0.002).

conclusionOverhydration may be clinically undetectable in PD patients. Assessing the hydration status and measuring the total serum albumin levels, including the oxidized fraction, should be considered in evaluating hydration status in PD patients.
