Association between Preoperative Vascular Function and Postoperative Arteriovenous Fistula Development.
Article in Journal of the American Society of Nephrology : JASN, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation failure is the primary cause of dialysis vascular access dysfunction. To evaluate whether preoperative vascular functional properties predict postoperative AVF measurements, patients enrolled in the Hemodialysis Fistula Maturation Study underwent up to five preoperative vascular function tests (VFTs): flow-mediated dilation (FMD), nitroglycerin-mediated dilation (NMD), carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, carotid-radial pulse wave velocity, and venous occlusion plethysmography. We used mixed effects multiple regression analyses to relate each preoperative VFT to ultrasound measurements of AVF blood flow rate and venous diameter at 1 day, 2 weeks, and 6 weeks after AVF placement. After controlling for AVF location, preoperative ultrasound measurements, and demographic factors (age, sex, race, and dialysis status), greater NMD associated with greater 6-week AVF blood flow rate and AVF diameter (per absolute 10% difference in NMD: change in blood flow rate =14.0%; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 3.7% to 25.3%; P<0.01; change in diameter =0.45 mm; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.65 mm; P<0.001). Greater FMD also associated with greater increases in 6-week AVF blood flow rate and AVF diameter (per absolute 10% difference in FMD: change in blood flow rate =11.6%; 95% CI, 0.6% to 23.9%; P=0.04; change in diameter =0.31 mm; 95% CI, 0.05 to 0.57 mm; P=0.02). None of the remaining VFT parameters exhibited consistent statistically significant relationships with both postoperative AVF blood flow rate and diameter. In conclusion, preoperative NMD and FMD positively associated with changes in 6-week AVF blood flow rate and diameter, suggesting that native functional arterial properties affect AVF development.
