Interdialytic weight gain and vasculopathy in children on hemodialysis: a single center study.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIncreased interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) has been associated with poor outcomes in adults, but its impact on hemodialysis vasculopathy in children is unknown.
methodsNineteen patients (age 9 to 19 years old) with a median hemodialysis duration of 10.4 months were enrolled. Cardiovascular evaluation included left ventricular mass index (LVMI), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) measurements. PWV and cIMT were expressed as z-scores based on reference values in healthy children. Blood pressure (BP) evaluation consisted in a 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring. Mean IDGW and residual urine output during the 6 months prior to cardiovascular examination were calculated.
resultsIncreased cIMT, LVMI, and PWV was observed in 11 (57.9%), 7 (36.8%), and 5 (26.3%) patients respectively, while BP was normal in all patients. Median IDWG was 3.5% (1.8-6.7). Residual urine output and BP status did not significantly differ between patients with IDWG ≥ or < 4%. After linear regression, IDWG was correlated to cIMT z-score (r
conclusionsHigh IDWG is associated with increased cIMT in hemodialyzed children independently of BP control and dialysis vintage. This observation reinforces the importance of interventions to avoid IDWG in hemodialyzed children.
