Catheter-related infections in peritoneal dialysis: comparison of a single center results and the literature data.
Observational study in Journal of nephrology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundCatheter-related infections are important causes of morbidity in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). There are different protocols of exit site care for the prevention of catheter-related infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of catheter-related infections and their complications in our PD center.
methodsWe performed a retrospective, observational study for all patients receiving PD in our center. We observed prevalent patients every year for 5 years. The patients performed the exit-site care three times a week, cleaning the exit site with 10% sodium hypochlorite. From 2017, update of ISPD recommendations suggests the application of antibiotic creams. We recorded the incidence rate of ESI and TI, gentamicin resistance, catheter lost, related post-ESI peritonitis and fungal infections, and we compared our results with the data in the literature.
resultsPrevalent patients per year were 117.6 ± 5.5. The "time at risk" was 356.46 years. The median values of TESI (tunnel and exit site infections), TI, gentamicin resistance, related post-ESI peritonitis and fungal infection rate were similar in our results and the literature data. The ESI and the catheter lost caused by infection were significantly lower in our patients. No significant adverse effects, such as skin allergy or intolerance, were reported.
conclusionsOur results confirm the utility and the safety of routinely exit site care using 10% sodium hypochlorite. This protocol resulted similar to the data reported in the literature. Our analysis of the literature highlighted the wide variation in the infection rate of ESI and TI.
