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 the studyLittle information have been provided till now regarding the effect of high volume HDF (hv-OL-HDF) in respect to standard bicarbonate dialysis (BHD) in medium-long term protein-bound toxins removal. PROCEDURES: A randomised cross-over multicentre study (REDERT study) was designed to compare the effects of hv-OL-HDF and low-flux BHD on uremic toxins serum levels in 36 chronic dialysis patients followed for 13 months. Group 1 patients were treated with BHD (Treatment A) for 6 months, and afterwards, they were transferred to hv-OL-HDF for a further 6 months (Treatment B). Group 2 patients were treated with Treatment B for 6 months, and afterwards, they were transferred to Treatment A for a further 6 months. Total and free pre-dialysis indoxyl-sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl-sulfate (pCS) were determined starting a midweek dialysis session at baseline and after six months of hv-OL-HDF or BHD. IS and pCS, were simultaneously measured, by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry, Kt/v and pre and post-dialysis b-2microglobulin (b2MG) levels were measured every three months.

resultsKt/V was significantly increased in hv-OL-HDF (from 1.47 ± 0.24 to 1.49 ± 0.16; p < 0.01) and was reduced in BHD (from 1.51 ± 0.2 to 1.36 ± 0.21; p < 0.001). The mean infusion volume in HDF was 20.9 ± 2.1 L with a mean total convective volume of 23.8 ± 2.3 L and a significant removal of b2MG was obtained in hv-OL-HDF at month 3 and month 6. Both free and total levels of IS and pCS were significantly reduced in hv-OL-HDF at month 6 in respect to BHD.

conclusionsIn the present study we confirm the assumption that post-HDF is an effective technique in small and protein-bound uremic toxins removal.
