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

introductionStroke rate and mortality are greater in individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) than in those without ESRD. We examined discrepancies in stroke care in ESRD patients and their influence on mortality.

methodsThis is a national record linkage cohort study of hospitalized stroke individuals from 2005 to 2013. Presentation, measures of care quality (admission to stroke unit, swallow assessment, antithrombotics, or thrombolysis use), and outcomes were compared in those with and without ESRD after propensity score matching (PSM). We examined the effect of being admitted to a stroke unit on survival using Kaplan-Meier and Cox survival analyses.

resultsA total of 8757 individuals with ESRD and 61,367 individuals with stroke were identified. ESRD patients (n =486) experienced stroke over 34,551.9 patient-years of follow-up; incidence rates were 25.3 (dialysis) and 4.5 (kidney transplant)/1000 patient-years. After PSM, dialysis patients were less likely to be functionally independent (61.4% vs. 77.7%;

conclusionStroke incidence is high in ESRD. Individuals on dialysis are functionally more dependent before stroke and less frequently receive optimal stroke care. After a stroke, death is more likely in ESRD patients. Acute stroke unit care may be associated with lower mortality.
