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

Despite the widespread use of chronic dialysis for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), there is no consensus on the optimal timing of initiating renal replacement therapy. Over the past decade, a worldwide trend toward increasing glomerular filtration rate at the initiation of dialysis has been noted. However, available data indicate that early dialysis has no survival benefit or is harmful. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is one alternative for ESRD and has potential survival factors different from those of hemodialysis. The association between the timing of PD initiation and survival is unclear. This review examines the effect of the timing of dialysis on clinical outcomes in PD patients.
