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

introductionThis study attempted to survey the oral findings of hemodialysis patients and analyze the prevalence and predictors for torus palatinus

methodsA total of 322 hemodialysis patients were recruited. Patients were organized into two groups, based on the presence (n=93) or absence (n=229) of TP. Demographic, laboratory, and dialysis-related data were obtained for analysis.

resultsThe prevalence of TP was 28.9% in this study. Patients with TP were younger in age [57.8±10.0 (37.4-86.9) versus 62.4±12.3 (25.0-87.8) years old;

conclusionThe prevalence of TP is 28.9%, and the majority of patients suffering TP are female. Younger age, female gender, elevated blood concentration of phosphate, and lower blood concentration of bicarbonate are predictors for TP.
