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

introductionAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a highly prevalent arrhythmia in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and an HD session may be a trigger for AF episodes. An abnormal P-terminal force in lead V1 (PTFV1) may predict new-onset AF in HD patients. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of the HD process on PTFV1 and to evaluate possible factors influencing PTFV1 in a group of selected HD patients. MATERIAL AND

methodsOne hundred and fifty-three selected HD patients entered the study. Blood chemistry, electrocardiography, and impedance cardiography were evaluated before and after HD. Echocardiography was performed on the morning after dialysis. Abnormal PTFV1 was defined as PTFV1 > 40 mm × ms.

resultsAbnormal PTFV1 was found in 35.3% of patients before dialysis and in 48.4% of patients after dialysis. The results of multiple regression analysis revealed that the independent predictors of pre-dialysis abnormal PTFV1 were: left atrial volume index (

conclusionsAbnormal PTFV1 is prevalent in HD patients. The HD process adversely affects PTFV1 values. Pre-dialysis abnormal PTFV1 is mainly associated with structural heart abnormalities and hydration status. HD-induced abnormal PTFV1 is associated predominantly with serum potassium changes as well as HD-induced hypotension. Our results suggest possible risk factors for AF; however, their clinical significance needs to be confirmed in follow-up studies.
