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

introductionTissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is a relatively new echocardiography method in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aims of this study were to evaluate left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in pediatric CKD patients using conventional pulsed-wave Doppler echocardiography (cPWD) and TDI methods and correlate them with BNP levels. MATERIAL AND

methodsThirty children on regular hemodialysis (HD) were included. Left ventricular systolic and diastolic indices and BNP levels were measured immediately before and after HD.

resultsAfter HD, LV and left atrium diameters were significantly decreased (

conclusionsThe cPWD and TDI-derived LV indices are influenced by HD. The diagnostic utility of BNP in the presence of deteriorating renal function may be compromised to some extent.
