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

objectiveThe risks of sudden death and cardiac arrhythmia are increased in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Here, we aimed to evaluate the indicators of arrhythmias, such as p-wave dispersion (P-WD), QTc dispersion, Tp-e and Tp-e/QT ratio in patients with CKD stages 3-5 on no renal replacement therapy (RRT). MATERIAL AND

methodsOne-hundred and thirty three patients with CKD stages 3-5 and 32 healthy controls were enrolled into the study. No patients received RRT. QTc dispersion, P-WD and Tp-e interval were measured using electrocardiogram and Tp-e/QT ratio was also calculated.

resultsMean age rates were found similar in patients and controls (60.8 ± 14.2 and 61 ± 12.9 y, p = .937, respectively). Compared patients with controls, P-WD (45.85 ± 12.42 vs. 21.17 ± 6.6 msec, p < .001), QTc-min (366.99 ± 42.31 vs. 387.15 ± 20.5 msec, p < .001), QTc dispersion (71.13 ± 27.95 vs. 41.25 ± 14.55 msec, p < .001), Tp-e maximum (81.04 ± 10.34 vs. 75.49 ± 10.9 msec, p < .001), Tp-e minimum (62.25 ± 7.58 vs. 54.8 ± 6.72 msec, p < .001) and Tp-e/QTc ratio (0.19 ± 0.02 vs. 0.18 ± 0.01, p = .001) were found to be different. QTc-max and Tp-e interval were found to be similar in both groups.

conclusionP-WD and QTc dispersion, Tp-e interval and Tp-e/QTc ratio were found to be increased in with CKD stages 3-5 on no RRT.
