Improved blood pressure and left ventricular remodelling in children on chronic intermittent haemodialysis: a longitudinal study.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesWe aimed to examine longitudinal changes in left ventricular (LV) structure and function and evaluate factors associated with LV remodelling in children on chronic haemodialysis.
methodsRetrospective longitudinal study including all children from the start of chronic haemodialysis with two or more m-mode 2D echocardiograms and tissue Doppler studies. Left ventricular mass (LVM) in g/m
resultsTwenty-three of the 32 children < 18 years were included (n = 5, < 5 years) with last follow-up study performed following dialysis after a median (IQR) of 21 (10-34) months. The prevalence of LVH reduced significantly (69.6%, (n = 16/23) vs. 39.1% (n = 9/23), P = 0.002); LV geometry improved (13% concentric and 56.5% eccentric vs. 8.7% and 17.4% respectively) with mean ± SD reduction in indexed LVM (50.8 ± 23.1 g/m
conclusionsLV structure and function can improve in children despite long-term chronic intermittent haemodialysis. Cardiovascular health in this population does not always deteriorate but can be stabilised and indeed improved with optimal blood pressure management.
