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

This retrospective, nationwide, matched cohort study investigated the risk of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) following end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The study cohort included 84722 ESRD patients who were registered between January 2000 and December 2009 at the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. An age- and sex-matched control group comprised 84722 patients selected from the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000. We collected information for each patient from the index date until December 2011. During the follow-up period, we found a significantly elevated risk of CSCR in the ESRD patients compared with controls (incidence rate ratio = 1.51, 95% confidence interval = 1.24-1.84). After adjustment for potential confounders, including age, sex, coronary artery disease, peptic ulcer, and obstructive sleep apnea, ESRD patients were 1.41 times more likely to develop CSCR (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.41, 95% confidence interval = 1.14-1.73). In conclusion, we found that ESRD patients showed a significantly higher risk of developing CSCR and recommend regular retina examinations and education regarding CSCR for patients with ESRD.
