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

backgroundThe incidence of cardiac morbidity and mortality is high in patients treated with hemodialysis (HD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between HD and the echocardiographic findings in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

methodsBetween 2012 and 2014, 150 patients with CKD. The echocardiographic data were done based on American Society of Cardiology (ASE). Measurement method for Ejection Fraction was E balling and for Diastolic Function was Tissue Doppler. Anemia, thyroid conditions and dialysis through an arteriovenous fistula or permanent catheter of dialysis for the patients are not considered.

resultsThe mean age at diagnosis for the patients was 57.8 years, 52.7% were males. Out of 150 patients, 112 patients (74.7%) had diabetes and 117 patients (78%) had a history of hypertension. The prevalence of all echocardiographic findings was more after the first dialysis compared with before the first dialysis in diabetic patients (P<0.05), but in non-diabetic patients, was not for the tricuspid valve stenosis, impaired right ventricular volume, systolic dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension (P>0.05).

conclusionsAccording to the findings of this study, seems that more accurate selection of patients for dialysis, paying special attention to hemodynamic change during dialysis, patient education about diet and better control of uremia and diabetes is essential.
