[Renal replacement therapy in the elderly].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Renal function in humans declines with old age. Currently, the normal range for renal function is not differentiated by age but uniformly given, which has evoked criticism. The symptoms of high-grade impairment of renal function are nonspecific. The current data situation does not support early initiation of dialysis: on the contrary, initiation of dialysis should be decided from clinical aspects and not according to the values for the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Elderly patients should be offered peritoneal dialysis (PD) as well as hemodialysis (HD), which can be performed either at home (PD) or at a dialysis center (HD or PD). Patients and their relatives should be presented with all available information on both therapy options but there are also conservative, palliative therapy options for the very old or for those with a high number of comorbidities. The decision for therapy should be individualized and tailored for each patient. The planning of kidney replacement therapy should be carried out well in advance. A multidisciplinary team should discuss possible barriers to one or the other treatment option and provide assistance for implementation of the individual optimal therapy. In some cases a home-based assisted PD can be a sensible option.
