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

Distal radio-cephalic arteriovenous fistula is the 'gold standard' vascular access for chronic hemodialysis. Its main drawback is early failure, which can complicate up to 50 % of this surgical procedure. Two scenarios of failure are possible: early post-operative thrombosis or impaired maturation. The first is mainly due to a defective preoperative evaluation or poor surgical procedure. The latter is a patent angioaccess unable to deliver adequately hemodialysis due to a persistently low blood flow or difficult cannulation. In this article, the causes of impaired maturation will be reviewed, ranging from the stenosis causing low flow to the deep location of the vein in the obese. Treatment options will be described in thorough technical detail, in order to allow the angioaccess team to master them in daily practice.
