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.

Abstract

backgroundOxidative stress is highly prevalent in patients with end-stage renal disease and is linked to excess cardiovascular risk. Identifying therapies that reduce oxidative stress has the potential to improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients undergoing maintenance dialysis. STUDY

designPlacebo-controlled, 3-arm, double-blind, randomized, clinical trial. SETTING &

participants65 patients undergoing thrice-weekly maintenance hemodialysis.

interventionPatients were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive once-daily coenzyme Q OUTCOMES: The primary outcome was plasma oxidative stress, defined as plasma concentration of F MEASUREMENTS: F

resultsOf 80 randomly assigned patients, 15 were excluded due to not completing at least 1 postbaseline study visit and 65 were included in the primary intention-to-treat analysis. No treatment-related major adverse events occurred. Daily treatment with 1,200mg, but not 600mg, of CoQ LIMITATIONS: Study not powered to detect small treatment effects; difference in baseline characteristics among randomized groups.

conclusionsIn patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, daily supplementation with 1,200mg of CoQ
