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

Thirty eight patients underwent Holter ECG monitoring for a 48 hour period covering dialysis and intermediate period to detect incidence of myocardial ischemia manifesting as ST segment changes. Seventeen patients (44.7%) had 165 episodes of dynamic ST segment changes lasting from 1 to 177 minutes, with maximum ST depression of 4 mm. The mean age of patients was 45 ± 14 years and 14 (82.6%) of them were males. Ten (58.8%) patients had hypertension, and 5 (29.4%) patients each had diabetes mellitus and pre-existing coronary artery disease. Six (35.3%) patients with dynamic ST segment changes had ventricular ectopics ranging from isolated ventricular premature contractions to episodes of ventricular tachycardia. No significant hypotension or angina was documented during these episodes of ST segment deviation. We concluded that hemodialysis plays an important role in the genesis of the above ECG changes.
