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

Dialysis encephalopathy (DE) is a progressive, fatal disease with a high mortality rate. Understanding the causes of this disease and the efforts to prevent and treat it would help improve the prognosis and quality of life of affected patients. This paper reviews the etiology, clinical features, methods of examining accessory features, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of DE. We found that DE is likely to be related to aluminum poisoning. The clinical manifestations of DE include language disorders, mental and behavioral disorders, cognitive decline, and movement disorders. Electroencephalogram (EEG) findings mainly consist of an abundance of low waves, intermittent bilateral synchronous high-amplitude spikes, and ridge waves. Assessing the clinical features and obtaining an EEG are of great value in diagnosis, and DE is treated by both reducing aluminum intake and increasing aluminum excretion. Deferoxamine (DFO) is an effective treatment for DE.
