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

purpose of reviewThis review article focuses on the most significant cardiovascular complications in dialysis patients [sudden cardiac death (SCD), acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation]. RECENT

findingsCurrent and ongoing research aims to quantify the rate and pattern of significant arrhythmia in dialysis patients and to determine the predominant mechanism of SCD. Preliminary findings from these studies suggest a high rate of atrial fibrillation and that bradycardia and asystole may be more frequent than ventricular arrhythmia as a cause of sudden death. A recently published matched cohort study in dialysis patients who received a defibrillator for primary prevention showed that there was no significant difference in mortality rates between defibrillator-treated patients and propensity-matched controls. Two randomized controlled trials are currently recruiting participants and will hopefully answer the question of whether implantable or wearable cardioverter defibrillators can prevent SCD. An observational study using United States Renal Data System data demonstrated how difficult it is to keep hemodialysis patients on warfarin, as more than two-thirds discontinued the drug during the first year. The ISCHEMIA-CKD trial may provide answers about the optimal strategy for the treatment of atherosclerotic coronary disease in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. SUMMARY: The article reviews the diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes in dialysis patients, current literature on myocardial revascularization, and data on fatal and nonfatal cardiac arrhythmia. The new classification of heart failure in end-stage renal disease is reviewed. Finally, available cohort studies on warfarin for stroke prevention in dialysis patients with atrial fibrillation are reviewed.
