The association of dialysis adequacy, body mass index, and mortality among hemodialysis patients.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAlthough hemodialysis (HD) adequacy, single-pool Kt/V
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed patient data from the Korean Society of Nephrology registry, a nationwide database of medical records of HD patients, from January 2001 to June 2017. We included patients ≥18 years old who were receiving maintenance HD. Patients were categorized into three groups according to baseline BMI (< 20 (low), 20 to < 23 (normal), and ≥ 23 (high) kg/m
resultsAmong 18,242 patients on HD, the median follow-up duration was 5.2 (IQR, 1.9-8.9) years. Cox regression analysis showed that, compared to the reference (spKt/V 1.2-1.4), lower and higher baseline spKt/V were associated with greater and lower risks for all-cause mortality, respectively. However, among patients with high BMI (n = 5588), the association between higher spKt/V and lower all-cause mortality was attenuated in all adjusted models (P
conclusionsThe association between spKt/V and mortality in HD patients may be modified by BMI.
