Clinical outcomes and survival in pediatric patients initiating chronic dialysis: a report of the NAPRTCS registry.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 2011 annual report of the North American Pediatric Renal Transplant Cooperative Study (NAPRTCS) registry comprises data on 6482 dialysis patients over the past 20 years of the registry.
methodsThe study compared clinical parameters and patient survival in the first 10 years of the registry (1992-2001) with the last decade of the registry (2002-2011).
resultsThere was a significant increase in hemodialysis as the initiating dialysis modality in the most recent cohort (42% vs. 36%, p < 0.001). Patients in the later cohort were less likely to have a hemoglobin <10 g/dl [odds ratio (OR) 0.68; confidence interval (CI) 0.58-0.81; p < 0.001] and height z-score <2 standard deviations (SD) below average (OR 0.68, CI 0.59-0.78, p < 0.0001). They were also more likely to have a parathyroid hormone (PTH) level two times above the upper limits of normal (OR 1.39, CI 1.21-1.60, p < 0.0001). Although hypertension was common regardless of era, patients in the 2002-2011 group were less likely to have blood pressure >90th percentile (OR 1.39, CI 1.21-1.60, p < 0.0001), and a significant improvement in survival at 36 months after dialysis initiation was observed in the 2002-2011 cohort compared with the 1992-2001 cohort (95% vs. 90%, respectively). Cardiopulmonary causes were the most common cause of death in both cohorts. Young age, growth deficit, and black race were poor predictors of survival.
conclusionsThe survival of pediatric patients on chronic dialysis has improved over two decades of dialysis registry data, specifically for children <1year.
