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

introductionPatients with chronic kidney disease undergoing haemodialysis (HD) therapy have high morbidity and mortality, the main causes are cardiovascular events followed by infectious disease. Infectious problems originate from the vascular access, especially when such access is through a central venous catheter. CASE PRESENTATION: We described a 72-year-old man with end-stage renal disease, requiring HD, with fever and purulent discharge at the catheter insertion site. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a 39 DISCUSSION: In HD patients, a high index of suspicion is very important in the early recognition and management of infective endocarditis. Imaging studies are very useful for the diagnosis of intracardiac masses, but sometimes it is difficult to differentiate one mass from another. In our case, despite the multimodal approach, the histopathological study was the one that gave us the definitive diagnosis.
