Incremental Peritoneal Dialysis May be Beneficial for Preserving Residual Renal Function Compared to Full-dose Peritoneal Dialysis.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05721404 (Icodextrin Postpones the Shift of Low Dose to Full Dose Dialysis in the First Year of Incremental Peritoneal Dialysis), which is not on this map. Cited by 30 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Maintaining residual renal function (RRF) is a crucial issue in peritoneal dialysis (PD). Incremental dialysis is the practice of initiating PD exchanges less than four times a day in consideration of RRF, and increasing dialysis dose in a step-wise manner as the RRF decreases. We aimed to compare the outcomes of incremental PD and full-dose PD in terms of RRF preservation and other outcomes. This was a single-center, observational study. Data were extracted retrospectively from a cohort of incident PD patients over 16 years old who started PD between 2007 and 2015 in the PD Unit of Seoul National University Hospital. We used inverse probability weighting (IPW) adjustment based on propensity scores to balance covariates between the incremental and full-dose PD groups. Multivariate, time-dependent Cox analyses were performed. Among 347 incident PD patients, 176 underwent incremental PD and 171 underwent conventional full-dose PD. After IPW adjustment, the incremental PD group exhibited a lower risk of developing anuria (hazard ratio [HR] 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.43-0.88). Patient survival, technique survival, and peritonitis-free survival were all similar between these groups (P > 0.05 by log-rank test). Incremental PD was beneficial for preserving RRF and showed similar patient survival when compared to conventional full-dose PD.
