Surveillance of Dialysis Events: one-year experience at 33 outpatient hemodialysis centers in China.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
A multicenter prospective surveillance on dialysis events was carried in 33 dialysis centers in China. Maintenance hemodialysis (HD) outpatients who were dialyzed on the first two days of each month during 2014 were monitored for dialysis events and other infections. During the one-year period, 52,680 patient-months were monitored. Fistula and tunneled or non-tunneled central line were used for 73.70%, 15.70% and 8.85% of vascular access, respectively. There were 773 dialysis events occurred in 671 patients including 589 IV antimicrobial starts, 74 positive blood cultures and 110 local access site infections (LASI). The incidence of dialysis events was 1.47 per 100 patient-months. Among the 74 cases with bloodstream infection (BSI), 38 were access-related BSI (ARB) and there were therefore 148 cases with vascular-related infection (VAI; 38 ARB and 110 LASI). There were 740 cases (1.40 per 100 patient-months) with infections other than BSI and LASI, most (79.19%) of which were respiratory tract infections. For those with dialysis events, there were 425 cases (425/671, 63.34%) admitted to hospital and 12 cases of death (12/671, 1.79%). In conclusion, the surveillance revealed a relatively low incidence of dialysis events and the surveillance may be tailored to target those using central lines in resource-limited settings.
