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

backgroundRight ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a major cause of death in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). We used 3-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) to evaluate long-term impacts of MHD on RV function. HYPOTHESIS: In this study, RV dysfunction in MHD patients will be revealed and studied in depth by 3DSTE.

methodsEchocardiography was performed on 110 consecutively enrolled individuals: 30 controls and 80 patients with MHD. Conventional echocardiographic parameters and 3DSTE parameters were obtained and compared between groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis identified independent predictors of intradialytic hypotension (IDH).

resultsCompared with the control group, RV end-diastolic volume (RVEDV) was markedly enlarged (46.1 ± 11.8 mL/m

conclusionsRVEF by 3DSTE could be an important predictor of IDH in MHD patients, and lower ultrafiltration rate was protective for RVEF. 3DSTE may have potential in RV evaluation and risk stratification in MHD patients.
