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 number of elderly dialysis patients in Japan is dramatically increasing. Receiving therapy with better satisfaction through home care is one of the important factors in their daily lives. Thus, the quality of life of elderly patients on hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD) was evaluated.

methodsClinical information of patients aged ≥80 years who started dialysis at our hospital between January 2013 and December 2015 was retrospectively collected. The mortality rate, length of hospitalization, and place of death were identified to evaluate patient quality of life.

resultsIn total, 56 patients (14 PD and 42 HD) were enrolled. The mean age of study subjects was 85.2 ± 4.0 years. The proportion of PD patients who lived with their family or have professional caregivers who could assist them in their daily life was higher than that of HD patients (100 vs. 76.2%, respectively; p = 0.044). Mortality rate was higher in PD patients than in HD patients (p = 0.003), but long-term hospitalization of >180 days was observed only in HD patients (PD vs. HD: 0.0 vs. 16.7%; p = 0.102). In patients with Barthel index scores <100, the long-term hospitalization difference was significant (PD vs. HD: 0.0 vs. 30.4%; p = 0.040). Of note, 6 of 7 deceased PD patients and 1 of 10 deceased HD patients died at home (p = 0.002).

conclusionPD is a desirable home care therapy for elderly patients, but the burden on caregivers should be considered.
